The Hobbit Hole XXIX - Until the stars are all alight...
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 04/20/2006 2:10:46 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

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!

We saw it on stage years ago. I agree that the music is beautiful, but we weren't that thrilled with the show/story. The movie didn't change that.

There are a couple of really cool things in the stage show.

1) when the chandelier falls and

2) when he's taking her below and they're in the boat. It's really cool to see the fog and the boat coming toward you. It looks as though they're really in the water.

As a side note, we saw the DC premier of "Shogun" which I don't think actually ever opened in New York. It was most bad.

But they did this really cool thing with riders on horses. The actors had the fake horse/rider costumes you know where the riders legs are actually the horse legs. It was a really cool scene when the curtain came up and you saw these horsemen riding through the fog.

Then they turned to the side and spoiled the whole illusion. The audience laughed.

That show was painful to watch.

The one show I'd really love to see is The Lion King. It just looks spectacular!

Yeah, we'd like to see that too. We were supposed to go to see it in New York with the choir, but we got in a real tight money spot that year (what's new). It was in Norfolk last year over Christmas, but the timing was bad.

We saw "Beauty and the Beast" on Broadway. It was okay. But it's pretty cool to watch the scene where the beast changes to the prince. They do that on stage.

We should start planning ~something~ for 2007, doncha think?

We've already got WeddingMoot II for this year. :-)

Ideally, CanyonMoot would be for my 50th, which would be 2008. We should seriously talk about that at WMII this year.

That's looking really great! Bet you're eager to get it all finished up so you can move in and have some privacy.
