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! |

Good morning..... we were supposed to get winds, but they blew somewhere else!
I'm having a late morning too, 2J....

Heh...there has been a bit of a civil war in the Letters to the Editor of my local paper, with some folks saying ridiculous stuff about cecessing - joining Canada. Most of those letter writers are from the Burlington area, which isn't even covered by my paper, so I dunno why they're writing to the editor...but anyway.
Here's one of the more amusing examples of the other side...heh.

And my paycheck is in my account!
Life is good; life is very, very good.

If there is such a thing, I dunno about it. And I think I would know.
But Jen knows more than I...
I do have a book with additional stuff about Tom Bombadil, though. ;-) Goody, goody, no?

Cecessing - should be - seceding. Oops. That's okay. The South already tried it.
It didn't work with either spelling. ;-)

It's basically a whole book of Tom Bombadil stories in poetry form. I think I found it in text format at one point to show you, didn't I? I can't remember.
Mom bought it for me.

I think he meant the brief Samwise epilogue that got packaged into "History Of Middle Earth Volume 9". At least that's what I posted... hey! Corin! You just wanted to get someone else "over there" so you wouldn't feel so bad!

Yeah - I've seen it. I haven't read any of the additional Tolkien stuff.... not sure why. ecurbh has most of them, so I could now.
After all the hubbub over RoTK EE is over, ecurbh and I are going to read the LOTR again. I read it once after Fellowship came out and not since, and it's amazing how the facts have faded in talk about the movies.
