Casks filled with gold coins Could not soften the sadness House bereft of home
Happiness: money matters, but less than we think and not in the way that we think. Family is important and so are friends, while envy is toxic -- and so is excessive thinking. Beaches are optional. Trust is not. Neither is gratitude. - The Geography of Bliss by Eric Weiner as summarized by Lily Fairbairn. And a bit of the Hobbit reading thrown in never hurts. - NottaSackville

Bilbo Baggin’s dead? “Hello, I’m not yet dead!” he said. “Stop this sale!”, he pled.
Boromir looked in surprise at Bilbo, but the laughter died on his lips when he saw that all the others regarded the old hobbit with grave respect. Only Glóin smiled, but his smile came from old memories. -JRR Tolkien

Journey at its end Hopes of peace and coziness Sadly were not met I take it that the pronunciation is what counts, with the syllables? For example, the word "so-me-thing" has three syllables but sounds like two, while "ho-pe" has two but sounds like one...? (The middle row has nine syllables but sounds like seven, I think...)

But I think I'm off with "hello" (2 sounds/syllables?)

He travelled so far Saw friends die and dreams broken Found home broken too Returning he knew His own place in the wide world The meaning of home

By foal, foot and boat A hero, leader, and bold For a fourteenth share. Home to further grief Set to rights soon thereafter Blesséd happiness.
