)

Is either going to be ridiculously hard or ridiculously easy... or neither...

The greatest of all characters,
Created, I sustain.
For without me the memories
Of all the rest would wane.
My name and form throughout the years
Have changed to suit the Age,
But who am I inside has e’er
Remained—the weaving sage.
I keep all of my secrets locked
Within my body whole,
But break my back and I will yield
The workings of my soul.
I’ll be your true and constant friend,
Though many friends have I,
And though I perished long ago,
I shall never die.

Hi Mnem,

Middle Earth itself?

-greatest of all characters, changes with the ages, gone but lasts forever???

-well OK its a first guess!

Mnemosyne · 05-13-2009, 06:01 PM

Nope, although I like the cosmic-ness of your guess. ^_^

Rumil · 05-13-2009, 06:18 PM

Aha, good one Mnem,

(and I shall treasure being accused of cosmicness

)

Will have to put my thinking cap on and no mistake,

I'm tempted to say Gandalf - so I say Gandalf.

Mnemosyne · 05-14-2009, 02:19 PM

And Gandalf, alas, is wrong.

Not that the fellow himself is wrong, mind, in fact, he's quite right most of the time; but the guess is incorrect.
