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!

I think you're right, OT.

Scratch the trafic patrol idea then.

Well, we're halfway back. Our personal blog site is up, but the Hobbit Hole isn't yet.

They had to recreate the DNS entry on the server.

...but it did look like Hobbiton had that one tricky intersection.

Yeah... I always liked how every one of them views every other member of the family as one might view a chess piece, or a useful tool... dangerous if used incorrectly, perhaps, but not to be thrown away lightly.

It really is semaphore, though... MMF. Like this:

M

F

Like that. :-)

OK... guess we can start speculating on what MMF might mean.

Is it possible that the F is first? As in FMM?

It's a hidden message from PJ!!

There you go... betray the family, sure, but that doesn't mean you can't be *useful*...

If only as an example...

Maybe he's trying to do Wuthering Heights in semaphore.

Well, the good thing is, I'm not violently angry at her. I don't feel hate welling up in me or anything...just sadness.

So there might be some reconciliation someday.

But it's like I always tell my jedis...don't ever break someone's trust. Because once trust is broken, it's almost impossible to put it back together completely, certainly not without the help from the Lord.

I'm consoling myself with sweetened condensed milk. LOL! I poured it in my third quart milk bottle and stuck it in the fridge and now I'm eating it with a spoon.

See, this is why I respect you so much!

Or maybe like a bunch of half-starved lions; it's a tossup between, if you feed them, they'll turn on you or be your ally for a while.
