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!

Good morning!

Don't worry - you're better than me... I killed my feet just mowing yesterday.

I'll take that as a compliment since we all know you're above average.

You need to get better shoes. Or inserts. Or somethin'.

Wife says Nana always told her "never buy cheap shoes or cheap bras."

A lot of wisdom there. ;-)

I keep tellin' her that too, but I have a hard time getting her to ~town~ to go shopping for good shoes.

Well, out of all those places I went last night, none of 'em were good shoe places.

That's at least the third thread. Maybe more.

I've been lurking just 'cause of the popcorn factor. Seem to be three factions, none of which I quite fit into: the Potter fanatics, the Rowling-is-a-lousy-author group, and the unrealistic-fiction-is-evil group.

And because I have to prove every assertion I make because I think everyone thinks I'm lying...

Heh heh! I've got pictures of this guy in my college photo album. Pretty nice fellow, but a total dem.

Glenn Beck is talking about this. I sent him an email with the real story link.

I have no real problem with the people who don't like Harry Potter or who don't want their kids to read it. But I can't stand it when people make judgments based on faulty information.

Removing the meat chicken's feed at 6pm tonight. That way their system will be pretty well cleared out by morning.

Izzit ten o'clock yet? Izzit ten o'clock yet? Izzit ten o'clock yet?

I can't wait for this book sale! I just hope it's like the ones we have back home. They said it's in the "community room", which worries me. The one back home was always in a gym, and to me, community room sounds like something small. Maybe it's a hall, though.

I love book sales!

Our library, which is massive, has an entire section of books for sale, all the time!

So does our library...though it tends to have more non-fiction.

This sale is all donated books, so there should be more variety, and they'll be cheap! Usually at such things I try to find any classics I don't already own, plus mysteries. For a dime, I can even pick up stuff by authors I'm less than sure of. I can always pass it on or pitch it if I don't like it.

It was more of a big deal at home in some ways, I suppose, because the library itself had such a poor selection. So...sometimes that was the only way to find new authors.

Heh...last one at home I spent about thirteen dollars (which admittedly was a fortune to me at the time) and got something like three big paper sacks FULL of books. Mostly paperbacks, a lot of which I donated to various places when I left. But it kept me in reading material for a good long time! And I picked up a lot of Dickens. I know critics are often hard on his writing, but I like it.
