The Hobbit Hole XXII - ...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 06/01/2005 7:12:04 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe

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!

Hey, I can grave a Pattern as well as the next guy...I just prefer the older reference. =]

Well... it *is* at about 7,000 feet. They get a LOT of snow there. It is techically ON the mountain, and about halfway up. That mountain that's in the background is pushing 14,000 feet.

if you want to answer, you have to ask one

uhhhh, ok... Who succeeded Elwë Singollo to the throne of Doriath?

Oh, and..."Ill met by moonlight, Titania."

awww, thought I'd found another Zelazny fan, oh well. ;)

True, we're the SHOW ME state. Gypsy girl is now on the couch. Temperature has dropped 22 degrees. When there is no discernable time lag between lighting flash and thunderclap, that means its close right?

That's the nice thing about mountains.

You can appreciate them from a distance. *grin*

Which is also the nice thing about commercial fishermen.

...

You mean, we're not supposed to be able to look it up?

Not even Google?

I do know the answer, but only 'cause I looked in the genealogy charts at the back of The Silmarillion...

Do you think he knows Elwë Singollo's name in Sindarin?
