the Dark is Rising
Sweet tiny baby Moses. My brother just called to tell me that The Dark is Rising is being made into a movie! And it's supposed to be released this year! (October 5, to be exact.) How did I not hear about this until now? I LOVE that series. As far as I'm concerned, it's easily on par with the Chronicles of Narnia, the Sword of Truth, and the Wheel of Time as one of my favorite fantasy series. In retrospect it's probably for the best that I'm just finding out about this now, because had I known earlier, it would have been hard for me to wait patiently. As it is, October seems too far away. Seriously, y'all. The Dark? Is rising.
When the Dark comes rising, six shall turn it back;
Three from the circle, three from the track;
Wood, bronze, iron; water, fire, stone;
Five will return, and one go alone.
Iron for the birthday, bronze carried long;
Wood from the burning, stone out of song;
Fire in the candle-ring, water from the thaw;
Six Signs the circle, and the grail gone before.
Fire on the mountain shall find the harp of gold
Played to wake the Sleepers, oldest of the old;
Power from the green witch, lost beneath the sea;
All shall find the light at last, silver on the tree.
