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!

Amazon has this one, which has terrific reviews, but no audio sample. :-(

Whoa, you killed it.

What an interesting afternoon that was... had one of my professors offer me a research position for over the summer. He said all sorts of nice things about how I'm doing in the class and such... it was a little odd, actually.

Congrats on the kudos, however odd they may be.

I was was passive aggressive all day today. Makes for a nice change of pace.

Am gonna do a bit of writing, I think

I'm working on the words here too. I would like to slack off but have way too much to do to indulge in that. Homework... housework... NaNo... shopping... sigh.

I've got an Amazon.com order simmering in another tab. Most of Christmas is going to be from internet shopping. :P

Sounds like a plan... I've got most of my list made, but not shopped. I still have time! (she laughs maniacally)

I'm going to pad things a bit with some excessive description of technology. Perhaps the journey of a molecule through the nanomachine network, but that's sorta already been done.

I had the bad guy give the good guys an extremely pompous letter. Yay, that was two hundred words of snootiness.

Ah - well, if you were to use the THH dot net Amazon link, it goes to help us pay for that site...

(Just a reminder for everyone who may be making Amazon orders in the coming holiday season :~D)
