The Hobbit Hole XXV - Fare you well! Fare you well!
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 10/15/2005 7:13:08 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Fare you well! Fare you well!

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 Dark Lord realms fall outside normal tax laws.

Will it read like a Nigerian scam? Please give me your bank account so I can deposit the Dark Lord's horde of gold.

1772. :-D

I'm so proud. I made it further in two days than I thought I would ni the whole NaNo.

And I think I know where it's going.

Yay, Ruthy! Way to go!

I never know where my stories are going. So far I've spent a good 500 words describing how bored Bob was with work and life in general.

Cool...

But why do I keep getting the feeling that pretty soon you're all going to end up at the airport with tamborines and orange togas? :-)

We may be a cult, but we have better fashion sense than some...

I'm already committed to the Hobbit Hole compound. Don't think the tamborine scene fits with that cultic tradition.

Just so y'all know, Guido Morelli is a fantastic fashion designer. :P

He padded out a descriptive scene. The MC is pleased with her new duds - straight from his spring line. She had to look sharp at that press conference, after all.

Horde= great unruly mob bent on pillage and other narsty business

Hoard= hidden pile o' shiny things

The horde of Dwarves intended to deprive Smaug of his hoard of treasure.

Glad to help :)
