The Hobbit Hole XVIII - Though we pass them by today...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Posted on 12/20/2004 9:01:36 AM PST by ecurbh

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Though we pass them by today...

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!

WQ is, I guess, not a percentage. It's like an IQ score. You totally bombed...

Wouldn't bother me at all to hunt a bunch of feral chickens! You got your fish tank fish and your fishin' pole fish!

Makes my stomach growl thinking about it. LOL

theboy's got a sharp eye :) Jackson took some cinematic liberties there. The book says Shelob stung Frodo in the neck: ". . .but Frodo did not speak. As he had run forward. . .Shelob. . .had stung him in the neck." ("Two Towers", Book 4, Chapter 10)

I note that this quote appeared on the thread, not that I can imagine a liberal running around in the woods with a bow in the first place.

"First there was Deliverance, then we red states re-elect Bush, and now its the plight of the wild chicken to have to suffer our southern charm!!! I can even see it now, in a month or two we will start seeing deer on billboards everywhere with quotes like "Shaft mor chikens" or "Save our Herd and feed yurs, shoot a chiken"

I don't know if OB mentioned it or not, but Gypsy didn't bark when we adopted her. In fact, she had been adopted once before, but the people brought her back three days later 'cause she didn't bark.

Anyway, we had her 4-5 months before she decided she wouldn't get beat if she barked. Now, she will bark at all the appropriate times (doorbell, mailman, etc.) and she will also bark if the dogs next door start barking. She won't get off her bed, or most times, even raise her head, but she will bark with them. It is very funny to watch.
Dogs are the greatest!

Wow! Thanks everybody for taking the time to answer my questions with such excellent detail. It makes me want to read the books!

I wish the movie had given more time to Faramir and Eyowen. I thought their story was interesting... talk about rebounding!

I was especially proud of Sam this morning. Nana's trained him to go outside by himself since she can't take him out. (He gets a treat when he comes back in).

This morning he had to go. Whilst he was out the truck came with the dryer. I thought I'd have to go haulin' out after him. He basically went to the edge of the driveway and barked, then came on up on the deck.

He's a good boy.

'course the fact that it was rainin' didn't hurt I'm sure.

Join the club and read the books! There's quite a bit of Faramir and Eowyn that didn't get put in. Much less "rebound" too - it's obvious that Aragorn's not right and Faramir is.

Mmmmm...Faramir...

Yeah, he has some of the most romantic lines EVER, and they weren't even hinted at in the theatrical movie, and only hinted at in the Extended Edition. Wonderful stuff...

More questions: :)

1. In the beginning what was Sauron's true form?
2. In the book, did Frodo really decide to keep the ring instead of throwing it into the lava?
3. When Sam hesitates to give the ring back, is it because he is tempted, or is he concerned about Frodo's state?
4. Should I read the "Simillarion" (spelling?) before the LOTR?
5. Who sends Gandalf back and why has his form changed?

YOu guys are so smart, thanks for answering!!!!
