Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Until the stars are all alight
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! |

On the bright side, it can be put off for *years*...until you've already replaced half the books 'cause you forgot you had 'em.
Not that I'd know anything about such things...
To: RosieCotton
*grin*
That's ~never~ happened to me. ;-)

It's especially fun when you marry someone with the same/similar college major, particularly if that involves literature. And you realize you've ~already~ got two copies of most books...

:-D
At least you can trade in the extra copies for credit at a used book store.
All my credit is being left behind to those who don't appreciate it's worth. :-/

I haven't yet had a chance to seek out used book stores here. Or the library, for that matter.
I'm thinkin' they must exist, though. Isn't this coffee shop and bookstore territory, kinda?
In other news, there's an inexpensive concert next weekend - a guitarist I like. Woo-hoo! And it's in Centralia, of all places, so it shouldn't exactly be hard to navigate to, traffic wise.

In other news, 24 teaser from today's newspaper...
President Logan takes measures to impede Jack's progress; Vladimir Bierko re-enters the picture.
Don't we now have Bierko, Henderson AND Audrey in the CTU medical unit? (or is Henderson just in a holding cell?)

We had both things happening to us on Saturday and Sunday... a lot of the things in the garage were books and such that Rose had left behind in San Antonio when she first moved to Austin, because she didn't have room for them. After a few years, she couldn't remember what had happened to them, so she bought new copies.
Occasionaly we'd open a box that had been damaged and find books or comics not worth keeping inside, and I'd say, "Don't worry, I have a good copy of that one..."
To: Corin Stormhands
I'm not sure about Henderson.
He really should be put somewhere deep underground or something...they aren't gonna break him, so they just need to make sure he doesn't get away - ever again.
It's gonna be a wild ride tonight, no doubt about it. Coming down to the wire pretty much.
To: Corin Stormhands
Big question is, is Miles heading there?
To: HairOfTheDog
I sooooo want to see someone (Chloe, preferably, or Jack with Chloe looking on) bloody his smarmy face up a bit. In painful ways.
To: Corin Stormhands
Hehehe.... I don't think Talon and I have too much overlap but there will probably be some. Our technical books are different at least.

As much as I want to see Miles go, I'm thinking they may let him redeem himself when he realizes what's going on.

Not good enough... not nearly good enough :~D
To: Corin Stormhands
I don't think so. He's too much of a suck-up to go with the "rebels".
Did I actually write that?
To: RosieCotton; HairOfTheDog
Well, hopefully you're right.
They killed Edgar, Tony and Michelle. They should ~give~ us Miles.

I wanna know what's up with Aaron. If they've done anything to him...
To: JenB
You could give The Shoes to Mr. Beepy.
To: Corin Stormhands
I actually don't want to see him go down in any heroic or sympathetic way... maybe he just gets a nosebleed, or a paper cut, and demands admittance into the clinic, crying like a little girl :~D
To: Corin Stormhands
They killed Edgar, Tony and Michelle.And Palmer. And Heller... maybe (I don't completely believe he's dead yet).
