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!

so we watched 13th Warrior. I love that movie, and it looked great with the new player!

Suzi - I have now put 13th Warrior in among my top ten fav movies list - LOVE Vladimir Kulich - fav scene is where Ahmed is trying to get Buliwyf to stop Herger from fighting, and Buliwyf turns his head justso and shuts Ahmed up.

Heh... for my parents' 20, we bought them a dinner at Ruth's Chris and my sister, who'd done chef classes, made a little wedding-style cake.

For fifty maybe they'll get something more impressive.

I had Steve's long-haired hockey team on either side of me as I walked in!

That scene belongs in a novel. Truly.

I thought it was delightful! Your wedding, I mean.

I hadn't thought about the hockey team in a while. A bunch of transplanted Canadians and a few Minnesotans. They'd known us forever...Steve played on the team when I met him and I would go and watch them practice. Four years later, they were all at our wedding...quite a compliment in a way.

Wonder where they all are now?

Lots of scruffy yumminess in that movie. One of my faves.

I sometimes feel that way about my whole life. Kinda like Carla Emery...you know how she's got all this unusual stuff sprinkled through her life?

That's why I relate to her so much!

You must write some of this down. Your memoirs could be a best-seller.

Heh heh...

I doubt it. But I'm afraid my conversations here in the Hole are as close as I'll get to a memoir. Musings and memories...

The composition of my wedding guests would have been totally different if I had married in other phases of my life!

If I'd have married my first love, there's have been big haired rockers there.... The second, the guests would have been college drinking buddies who all looked like pilot jocks. As it ended up, I was surrounded by some folk I met on the internet, all of whom, I might add, turned out to be real people!
