The Hobbit Hole XXVI - Home is behind, the world ahead

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Home is behind, the world ahead
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! |

So, what would you do if a bunch of us ran across the street and spray painted "LOTR RULES TLTWATW DRULES" on the Narnia threads?
:P
To: Lil'freeper
It may or may not be a fair reflection of our maturity :~D

Good Morning ALL
Hair, the new place looks fine, think I'll get my fletching materials from the cart. Great job on the hobbiteers from SouthPark.
Exgeeeye: Narnia, waaay cool. Superb job.
Now for a cuppa tea to celebrate.

Welcome to the new thread :~D
We move slow on Sundays... no risk we'd have gotten so far ahead that you couldn't catch up :~D

LOL!! Happy Advent, everyone!
I like XGI's thread logo. We even have Aslan visiting the Hole. How appropriate!
Are there enough stockings for everyone?

I'm amazed at one particular person on the Narnia threads who posts on seemingly every thread, "I'm not going to see it, it's just a kid's movie!"
OK, so... why are you posting to every thread about the movie, then? :P
