2 RIDDLES
|
Can't Post
|
|
1.
Under the starlit skies at night
Its use may give you great delight;
Or a lengthy probe may be a risk,
So to stay dry do keep it brisk.
What am I?
2.
Severally these were left behind,
A riddle for new owners.
The heirs, even though not blind
Did not see the donor.
What are we?
'Here is the heart of Elvendom on earth, and here my heart dwells ever, unless there be a light beyond the dark roads that we still must tread, you and I. Come with me!' And taking Frodo's hand in his, he left the hill of Cerin Amroth and came there never again as living man.

The hidden dwarf doors of Moria and Erebor?
Silverlode
Roads go ever ever on
Under cloud and under star
Yet feet that wandering have gone
Turn at last to home afar.
Eyes that fire and sword have seen
And horror in the halls of stone
Look at last on meadows green
And trees and hills they long have known.

Not unless two is Severally 
Back in your teapot. 
Thanks Dormouse
It seems I may have to give the answer to this one?
HINT - It's from -The Hobbit- (Book of course)

And if it's The Hobbit, there goes my even better guess, which came to me over a bowl of soup....

..may I offer you a wrong one which also seems to work, at least to a mouse brain?
Pippin's leaf brooch, the mallorn leaves, crumbs and cut rope - the trail which led Aragorn to him.
They were left behind 'severally' using the word's other meaning 'separately; each in turn'
They were a riddle Aragorn & co had to solve - he actually uses the word riddle
In this case 'heirs' has another twist - the heirs of Isildur, Thranduil and Gloin - who weren't blind but didn't see Pippin drop any of the things
Excellent riddles, anyway!

You’ve given this a LOT of “Mouse Brain” thought and yes, with a little “twisting” you get some apple-TARTS.
Be sure to SHARE them with Meneldor or it’s back in your teapot for you!
