It is a pleasure to find you here.
I have read LAST SUMMER and just yesterday, completed FULL CIRCLE. I love them both, but FULL CIRCLE has left a lasting impression on me. May I say, what a great novel. Thank you for that book.
Hope to be friends here.

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 gait
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!
"Still round the corner there may wait
A hidden road or a secret gate
And though I oft have passed them by
There may come a time at last that I
Shall take the hidden paths that run
East of the moon west of the sun."
— J.R.R. Tolkien
