The Hobbit Hole XVII - A new road or a secret gate...
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 11/03/2004 6:16:42 PM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

A new road or a secret gate...

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

Hi LCS!

I like to go to the library and freep sometimes. It's faster. We have an hour and a half limit and I don't budge no matter how many people come up and scowl at me! LOL

If you are a fan of Tolkien or even of the LOTR movies, this is a FReeper community of fellow fans...generally its like the Green Dragon tavern...we just come to hang out and chat.

Rosie... if your writing is tricky... might I recommend alcohol? Tonight's first thousand words were much, much easier...

Oh, darn, I forgot to lift. Better do that as soon as I digest my dinner.

I just wish McKellan had made Gandalf so rough towards Pippin. AT worst, Gandalf saw Pippin as a wayward child who may or may not do the right thing.

then there was that business with the palantir...I remember when my friends and I first read it, our thoughts were that maybe Gandalf set Pippin up.

oh well

To: Alkhin

I should say HAD NOT been so rough towards Pippin when they met with Denethor. I wanted to yell at Gandalf for throwing the poor hobbit back liek he did.
