The Hobbit Hole XXVIII - Through shadows to the edge of night
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 02/24/2006 9:52:11 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Through shadows to the edge of night

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!

Have you tried declaring Section 1-12 on Rasputin?

Wait... did we know there was a planned smoochmoot for you guys?

Also I've been wondering at what point such trips cease to be smoochmoots... I mean, it would be silly to refer to "Smoochmoot Edition 2, Round 5" or whatever...

We are doing the Happy Dance in the SuziQ/SirKit household!!! Clare just got her acceptance letter to Ave Maria, and with it a SCHOLARSHIP!! It's for four years, assuming she keeps at least a 3.0GPA, which should not be a problem, and it covers about 3/4 of her total costs!! She was exceedingly pleased since she'll be the one taking out the loans!

We are SO excited, for us and for her!

We were trying for a stealth smoochmoot, I think. ;-)

Right. Sure. Like that'd happen around here. Don't think we wouldn't notice a sudden lack of sappy posts at each other...
