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! |

Heh... she wouldn't stay seated under the pony, so we had to paste her in from this out-take.

I have 1300 words to go for today. We'll see what happens.
Maybe it's time for me to introduce some aliens from some planet beginning with "Z".
But music night is starting in half an hour and I have cleaning to do...so it may be a late night. I hafta get up SORT of early tomorrow to drop Van-sama off, but I can more or less roll out of bed and go over there, so a late night won't be toooo bad.

I may resort to the pen and paper technique for a bit. I can't edit when I do that, so even though I may not like what I'm writing, I'm stuck with it. I could edit when typing it in, of course, but I force myself not to.

We've invited a single mom whose son is in NJ getting ready to ship to Iraq. We don't know her, but were given her name by someone at church. Remember, Hobbit Hole knife. If you have one to give away, I'll send you a replacement.

Actually, I'm good. I've got one of the "extras" remember. So I'll be all set. Even have the box. Thanks for the reminder.

It's what every soldier dreads: that they come home victorious from the war, to find their home in ruins. That's what The Left's seems to be trying so hard to do...
That's not allegory, it's historical fact. And leftists are trying to ruin other people's homes even in peacetime.
More telling than the changes to the Shire was the active indifference of the citizens to the world around them, even after a few of their own came back with stories of worlds undreamt-of. I see this as an an allegory for the Little-Englander. Tolkien didn't write any explicit allegory, but parts of the books take on that aspect just because of the universal truths they address.
