Turn of the year

Bilbo’s walking song (as he is leaving Bag End, in “Fellowship of the Ring”) seems somehow appropriate:

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.
