The Road Goes Ever On and On (J.R.R. Tolkein)

The Road goes ever on and on

Down from the door where it began.

Now far ahead the Road has gone,

And I must follow, if I can,

Pursuing it with eager feet,

Until it joins some larger way

Where many paths and errands meet.

And whither then? I cannot say.


This was another favorite we remembered from our youth - the read- aloud from The Hobbit that predated books on tape.  This book and trilogy captured so much that was my Mom's passion but also ours - and open mind to other cultures and histories,as well as our own ancient past and the secrets that might lay in it.
