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!

~ J.R.R. Tolkien, 'A Walking Song'

Did you know his name is pronounced "tol-KEEN" and not "tol-KIN"?

And there are many paths yet to tread.
