The Hobbit Hole XXVI - Home is behind, the world ahead
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 12/11/2005 8:37:40 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

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!

SuziQ - Last of the Mohicans with Daniel Day Lewis was a great picture imho. Hope you enjoy it. I must have seen it a dozen times (I got the movie and the soundtrack).

New Year's TV really stinks. Think I'll watch the clock on the official time station website.

There should be a fish tank channel. And a fireplace channel.

heh, I guess the judges wandered among the slot machines asking people if they wanted to sing on TV. Apparently they found a few.

I made it to 2006. :-D

I'm off to hit the couch for a while and I'm 99% sure I'll end up asleep. I'm sorry I can't stay up for each of your New Year's

Nighty night Hobbit Holers! Hope 2006 is filled with good stuff!
