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! |

The only provider in my area right now is Bellsouth.
Since we have some kind of fancy fiber optic lines, they want to charge me over $100 just for installation. Then, it's ~$45.00 a month.
Can't afford it yet, but it's on The List. ;-D
Maybe once Comcast is available, the prices will go down a bit just to remain competitive.

Apparently, if one translates Episode III into Chinese and then back into English, the result is very strange...
Star Wars Episode III: Backstroke of the West
(Warning, some 4 letter words appear... also, the Jedi Council apparently equates to the Presbyterian Church in the minds of Chinese translators...)

Slow and steady wins the race.
That said, dial-up still sucks lemons. *wink*
I'd better get to bed. Another long day in store tomorrow and I've got to be rested to face it.
Nighty night everyone!
