Moles Out of Holes, Smiths on the Wing; or, an Expected Un-Party

4thJul. × ’12

Still more juvenilia: “Bill ‘Coon’ and the Giant Mole” (around age 11), “Phooey to Handwriting!” (age 12), and less juvenilely, “The Invisible Net” (some time in my late 20s).

The second Tolkien reference in my post’s title is obvious; can you identify the first?

      Nope, it’s a reference to the line “voles out of holes, moths on the wing” in “The Sea-Bell” (one of the poems in The Adventures of Tom Bombadil).
