Fools Rush in Where Angels Fear to Tread - Redux
I wrote this post almost a year ago. I was hoping someone could rise up to the task of solving these three riddles, matrimony minded or not. No takers.
At last, someone I know is very close in coming up with the answers. Here is the original post from 23 December, 2004:
'Love's function is to fabricate unknownness. That known is being wishless, but love, is all of wishing.' She wishes. He wishes.
To seperate the wheat from the chaff, the female in wish of a "good" husband could start by asking the suitors three riddles as follows:
1. What phantom dies each dawn but each night is reborn in the heart?
2. What blazes up when you think of great deeds, is hot in love, and grows cold when you die?
3. What is the ice that sets you on fire?
If there are males wanting to take on riddles such as these, then at the very least, they possess a much wished but often lacking mental faculty in a man-woman relationship. Imagination.
To love and to sustain love, it requires imagination.

Oh, I wrote the answers on your original post but I'll write them here again and I will be sure never to forget:
1. Hope
2. Blood
3. Turandot according to Calaf.
Well done, Carol! *applause* and *grin*
You should and must have another answer for the last riddle, Carol. I will accept that answer, too. A bonus point is given to you already. *grin*
Carol, a prize is on its way to you.
Now, don't you lose sleep waiting for it (a double entendre).
*grin*
