<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Ah-Ha I remember. It was "It is a hard thing for a hobbit,to look on hungry while others eat." Still can't rememebr where its from though.

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!</UL>
