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!

I'm gonna have to give the F and L movie another chance. I didn't think it did justice to the book when I saw it before. But maybe I was under the 'fluence at the time. I can't remember. :-)

*laughing*

It amazes me to see how many threads can turn into illegal immigration fights - even when the thread has NOTHING to do with immigration.

Maybe we should go start a willy wonka thread and see if we can bring out the anti-loompa crowd... :-)

~snicker~

I'd be afraid of a certain someone showing up since it's a movie thread.

I've still never seen Nightmare Before Christmas. Guess I'll have to add it to the Netflix list!

I've got only one but it's really growing...nice big leaves. I'll have to harvest some for drying. The cat fur seems to be working to repel varmints.

Wasn't the really old one - I've seen that. It's one made in the early 90s, with Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche. I might have been more impressed if I hadn't JUST read the books...but I was noticing every discrepency. Wasn't bad, but...

Now I'm gonna read for a bit and go to bed early. I suppose tomorrow is way too soon to hear anything back on that job. *sigh*

Hair just fell asleep on the couch, and we got Casablanca on.

I like Ralph Fiennes! He's going to be Lord Voldemort in the new Harry Potter movie!
