The Fellowship of the Ring: Being the First Part of The Lord of the Rings | J.R.R. Tolkien

“The Mathom-house it was called; for anything that Hobbits had no immediate use for, but were unwilling to #throw away, they called a mathom. Their dwellings were apt to become rather crowded with mathoms...” #QuotsyJun20

Velvetfur That reminds me of something from many years ago - imagine my surprise, while strolling through Pere Lachaise cemetery in Paris, having visited Oscar Wild and Jim Morrisson, when I suddenly happened upon Mr Chopin's tomb! 5y

gradcat @Velvetfur I did the exact same thing at Père LaChaise, only it was almost 35 years ago now...you just brought back such a lovely memory for me...thank you for that! ♥️ 5y

Velvetfur @gradcat Aw a happy memory for both of us! But has you known beforehand that he was there? I hadn't! It was a nice surprise though 😁 5y

gradcat @Velvetfur No, I was like you. We were there for Jim Morrison, and then just walking about the place, we found the others. When I was there (1984), there were so many people sitting on Morrison‘s plot, smoking and drinking, and who knows what else...that‘s why we kept walking around. Is it still like that? 5y

Velvetfur @gradcat Oh gosh that's so disrespectful! The last time I was in Paris was 14 years ago! But no it wasn't like that then, there was a fence around the grave - although I did see a guy vault over the fence to stand by the grave while another guy took his photo, then he popped back out again and off they went. I stood respectfully on the outside of the fence for my photo! 😁 5y

Velvetfur But I did hear about people behaving like that, even having little parties on his grave, which I assume is why they put the fence around it 🙂 5y

gradcat @Velvetfur You‘re probably right, because that‘s exactly what they did...have little parties with cigarettes, booze & marijuana. I think at the time they were attempting to make an homage by doing all of the things that they thought he would like to do if he were there. But it‘s probably best to have a fence. I mean, the graffiti was all over it...it looked terrible to me.♥️ 5y

Velvetfur @gradcat Oh yeah it's a different tombstone now as well! Sorry, I forgot to say.... I'll see if I can find the photo of me near it so you can see! 5y

gradcat @Velvetfur Cool! I‘d love to see it! ♥️ 5y
