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!

Oh yeah, they're awful!

Steve has this problem with my shoes...he never likes where I put them so he puts them somewhere else. Invariably he puts them like out in the garage up against the wall or on the porch up against the wall.

I won't touch them again.

I'm so scared a spider will have crawled up in them. Eventually he'll do it to all my shoes and I won't have any to wear until I make him clean them out.

Howdy!

It's not just you... Looks like a much darker interpretation, and I just don't think that's a good thing with that story. It'd be sorta like a Tim Burton interpretation of The Sound of Music.

Ummm... no. don't think so. :-)

I've never actually seen a recluse bite in person...at least a confirmed one.

Wanna see a picture of my toe?

I used to love to play soft ball! They always had me play the outfield. I used to go out in the outfield during practice with chocolate covered strawberries from Lambe's Candies and a bottle of Korbel Brut and just sit out there having my own private party in the sun. First thing in the morning!

I Luv soft ball!

Been playing 5 years since I started at Rockwell. I playh catch since I don't have the arm to get it in from the outfield. I am getting better steadily. I am kinda bad considering my mom's dad was in the minors and his dad is in the hall of fame.

The new version is directed by Tim Burton... I think it's probably more faithful to the book, which was rather dark. It was written by Roald Dahl, after all; when he wasn't writing children's stories, he was writing horror.

Original is with Gene Wilder. Remake is with Johnny Depp.

No good will come of this.

I'm guessing it will flop simply because parents won't take their kids to see it and parents won't go see it if they've got a night off from the kids.

I'm sure it's gonna be cool in that Tim Burton kind of way, but I wouldn't spend $20.00 to go to the theatre for it.

My fave Burton project was A Nightmare Before Christmas.
