Ever On And On

To A Dead Friend //

The moon still sends its mellow light
Through the purple blackness of the night;
The morning star is palely bright
Before the dawn.

The sun still shines just as before;
The rose still grows beside my door,
But you have gone.

The sky is blue and the robin sings;
The butterflies dance on rainbow wings
Though I am sad.

In all the earth no joy can be;
Happiness comes no more to me,
For you are dead.

// Langston Hughes, 1902-1967

"I am going to write fire until it comes out of my ears, my eyes, my nose holes -- everywhere. Until it's every breath I breathe. I'm going to go out like a fu***ng meteor!" -- Audre Lorde, 1934-1992

Inspiration for the name of this business comes directly from the first line of J.R.R. Tolkien's song from one of my most favorite book series, The Lord of the Rings:

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.

And yes, if you are a pedant burdened by a multiplicity of LOTRO trivia, this is the first version of the song, which Bilbo sang as he was leaving the Shire for Rivendell, in the Fellowship of the Ring.
