Guest T-Bone Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 Yep... How 'bout this one: Cannot be seen, cannot be felt, cannot be heard, cannot be smelt. It lies beyond the stars and beneath the hills. It ends life and kills lsaughter.

BullnaChinaShop Posted September 21, 2004 Posted September 21, 2004 [quote name='T-Bone' date='Sep 20 2004, 12:38 AM'] Yep... How 'bout this one: Cannot be seen, cannot be felt, cannot be heard, cannot be smelt. It lies beyond the stars and beneath the hills. It ends life and kills lsaughter. [/quote] The full riddle is: It cannot be seen, cannot be felt, Cannont be heard, cannot be smelt. It lies behind stars and under hills. And empty holes it fills. It comes first and follows after, Ends life, kills laughter. The answer is Dark. Here is anothoer one from the same source: This thing all things devours: Birds, beasts, trees, flowers; Gnaws iron, bites steel; Grings hard stones to meal; Slays king, ruins town, And beats high mountain down.
jasJis Posted September 21, 2004 Posted September 21, 2004 I was going to say water, but I think the answer is Time, since it has to slay birds and beasts.

[/quote] Time is correct. Both of those riddles were used in The Hobbit in the chapter "Riddles in the Dark"
