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! |

What do you think the Devil is going to look like if he's around?"Well, there are all manner of lesser imps and demons, Pete, but the great Satan hisself is red and scaly with a bifurcated tail, and he carries a hay fork."

Another movie reference containing Holly Hunter...
One degree of separation.

Heh, I get that reference. They were talking Greek for all I know, up there.

I didn't know which movie your reference was from, so that was just dumb luck on my part!

All those were from Broadcast News... if you don't know that, you need to see it!
It's full of great dialogue, and... I detect, like me, you're endowed with the gift of gab.

You don't say much my friend, but when you do it's to the point, and I salute you for it.

Well... it would appear that this hotel has the NG channel, and they are replaying that "Inside 9/11" show just now.
[gulp] Dammit.
Doesn't take but a few minutes to bring it all crashing in again. Wow. It really does come crashing back.
Seems that so many have forgotten. How could anybody forget this?

This "Inside 9/11" show is extraordinarily well done.
Powerful stuff.

No Nat'l Geo channel here :(
I wanted to see that.
I have the French brothers' fireman documentary that turned into a 9/11 documentary, though.

One of the best beers I ever had was a Spaten Marzen Oktoberfest. It's been years since I had one, though. I also like Sam Adams Oktoberfest beer, and it's now available at Austin Liquors! WooHoo!

Gooooood morning. Am a little late getting started. Had to pack this morning for my trip to Alexandria, VA. Might have to make an emergency trip to a department store on the way. The *perfect* suit is no longer so flattering (grumble,mumble,dangit) and the flattering suit is very wintery. Hrm... dilemmas.

Good Morning!
I remembered my password this morning.
To: Overtaxed
Hurray! It's a nice feeling iddn't it? One of mine expires in 6 days. It'll take at least that long to come up with one I can remember without writing down, that hasn't been used in the last bajillion years, and that also meets the complexity requirements. *sigh*
