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! |

I've been re-reading Fellowship. I read them again after FOTR came out, but I'm catching a lot more of the detail this time and I keep saying "they didn't do this right in the movie..."

Obviously except Friday! That's what I meant by "weeknight".
Or they can chat-view while we're, um, chatting. Yeah, yeah. Chatting. That's what we're planning for next weekend, right?

It's the stuff surrounding the entrance to Moria that bugs me the most, I think, so far as the first movie goes...who figures stuff out and makes the decision to go in and all that.
I've accepted the movie version...but it bothers me. So does the way Frodo drops his sword and runs at Weathertop. He wasn't that much of a sissy in the book...
