A man with no eyes
saw apples on a tree
he neither took them
nor left them
now how can that be?
[sub]The answer is that he had one eye and he saw two apples. He took one of them. Hey, can we make text write backwards? I loved it when we had to hold up mirrors to the logic problems to get the answer.[/sub]
'Twas in heaven pronounced, 'twas muttered in hell,
and echo caught faintly the sound as it fell.
On the confines of earth it was permitted to rest,
and in the depths of its presence there was confessed.
You hear it speak, for it has a hard tongue.
But it cannot breathe, for it has not a lung.
What is it?
Shining with inner fire, yet cold as a stone
Red and gold throughout it, yet white as a bone.
Brought forth from the earth in a far southern land,
To rest upon the finger of a maiden’s smooth hand.
