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!

Ok. People listen to you, I'm the obnoxious little sister on this thread. So I had the idea, now you delegate.

Ah, don't be so modest...

You're our archivist, too. We give you great kudos for that.

And what breed of Hobbit hung out near the rivers, and liked to fish?

The Stoors.

Which branch of Shire Hobbits were most closely related to the Stoors?

Oh. Dear.

Did you just put me in charge of something?

Mwahaha. Another step in my plan to take over the world!

Er. Sorry. So - which movie do we want to see? FotR?

I am TOTALLY out of my depth with Zelazny, even though I started it. Can somebody else take this up?

Oh, I'll take a stab at it. Joyeuse?

That sounds good! We'll let everyone get a word in edgewise, though.
