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

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!

You *would* look good in that.

But the thing says that's a '58. Isn't that back window too big for that to be a 58? I thought they didn't go to the squared-out window in the back until after 60. Maybe I'm wrong about that.

The arcs are pretty smooth IM uninformed O. I didn't twist the string any, so the only way to get the fistmele(?) down would be to move the nocks closer to the center of the bow. Should I do that maybe? Or try for a longer string?

I'm thinking '57 was the last year for the oval window back there...but I'm not sure either!

I'm just happy I didn't break it in half trying to get the string on.

I hear that!

Much better idea, I think. Get one in great running condition and fix it up to look how you want it as you go.

According to this, it was an oval window back there from 1953 to 1956, then they switched it to the rectangle window in 1957.

I always wondered about that. Now I know!

I know where you've been and take it from me....no amount of logic or reason will get past some folks' blatant hatred.

I felt the full force of that hate back in the Elian days and steer clear of any and all threads that deal with immigration.
