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!

Reminds me of the "All your base" video.

And... was the Concerning Hobbits theme played on kazoos?

Thanks all... we're looking at our options right now. Nothing is certain until the official word comes down, of course, so we may have some time yet to find one or both of us another job.

Funny story! I think it works out better to at least start out by fishing on those kind of things...

FWIW, on our first date, I asked the lady who later became my wife to go fishing with me in the Everglades. We rented a skiff, but as I recall we didn't catch anything! Except each other.

It helped that as we were driving home out of the Glades, there was one of the all time great sunsets. We were just kids, really, she was 18 and I was 21.
