The Hobbit Hole XXIV - Sand and Stone and Pool and Dell...
Please see our Hobbit Hole Troop Support project blog! ^

Posted on 08/24/2005 9:50:25 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Sand and Stone and Pool and Dell...

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'm having a ball reading through the thread from that day.

Not everyone has this running diary, with audience participation no less, of their life. :~D

Interesting how much has changed...and how much has stayed the same!

Yay, my advisor's out with a sick baby so I don't have to try to communicate in my hoarse voice without infecting him. That makes today sooo much easier. All I have to do is handle three emergencies, go to class, and start on my mountain of homework. Friday!

Thanks!

I think in celebration we should watch Fellowship of the Ring a little later, and see if we make it to Bree :~D



ecurbh just sent the email note to his parents about the fact that we aren't going to the marriage seminar. Eeek that's been a big elephant in our living room.

Why, they have stuff you want to inherit?

My parents just got done disowning all their parents.... the grandparents haven't noticed yet but then it's not time for their annual communication with us.

Honestly, Jen... that sounds really sad.

They won't disown us, of course, but their feelings will be hurt, and I don't feel great about that.
