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! |

You need to ask her father for her hand in marriage. He did that last week, remember?
Congratulations, you two! Officially this time.
To: no one in particular
~sigh~
I could be saving the world from destruction, but if Nana wanted something in the kitchen I'd have to wait until she gets out of the way. I'm in the middle of baking muffins and making soup, but she just comes on in...15 minutes later...
If this was "24" we'd all be blowed up by now.

Good morning!
Didn't get to sleep until after midnight last night. Planned to sleep in. And then someone called the wrong number and my phone woke me up. *sigh*
Guess I might as well start breakfast and all.

I have yet to see a single episode of that show. One of these days...
To: RosieCotton
I only started watching last season.
I meant to rent the others and watch them before this season started but never found the time. :-/
Start watching this season. It's never too late. Starts this Sunday.

That ain't how it worked in Jane Austen's books...not that they're the bible for courtin' and all, but...
To: HairOfTheDog
Well if she had said no, he wouldn't have to bring it up with the father.

*Sigh* He's supposed to do that after she accepts the proposal. Sheesh! Makes perfectly good sense Miz Hair, if'n you want tuh be proper about these things.
But ~technically~ he did that, since the faux proposal took place here.

If she says yes, the father's opinion doesn't matter so much any more. ;~D
