The Hobbit Hole XXIII - Let them go! Let them go!
Posted on 07/12/2005 8:11:36 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog
Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Let them go! Let them go!
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! |

It is a nice sized tiger. They come into shallow water too, but are not nearly as common as bulls. Just as dangerous. You see them around once in awhile, you can tell them by their square heads.

Meant to ping you to #75, since it has a fishing picture.

I know with Isabel we didn't have anything like what you guys had with Andrew. But 8 days without power was a pain.
And you're right. People were jacking up the prices on generators, ice, etc.

Yup. Or maybe overzealous Dungeons & Dragons fans.
I could be wrong... but it just sounds like a faddish name.

Nasty lookin' things.
I thought bulls had square heads, although I never go anywhere near enough to them to know for sure! LOL!

Having no power is the absolute worst.
My neighborhood had power back on after 2 weeks. We were exceedingly lucky that our stuff is underground.
There were lots of places that went months without power.
I could not begin to imagine what THAT was like!

Yeah, even at 8 days we were among the lucky ones. Thing is Duke Power in NC had people back on in hours. My brother and his wife went to Nags Head. They had power, groceries, etc.
Dominion Power got a LOT of grief over not being prepared. Not trimming trees in advance, not spending the money to bury lines, etc.

The only good thing to come out of these hurricane experiences is that you learn how to be better prepared for the next one. :-D

Theirs are more rounded than tigers' heads, while the tiger's body is much more slender and lithe. ;-)

I don't want to know how you know so much about sharks.
I see a fin, I run away. Very simple. ;-D

That's just the PayPal logo. All it means is that your buyer can pay with those cards. They still have to go thru PayPal.
