itachi-san Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 The following verses each have an individual answer. They are all also related. What does each verse represent and what is the common theme? 1) Standing tall, old and proud Symbolic of Hades' prickly shroud 2) The bright stand out and clearly show A wind above the town below 3) Raised in Italy, brought to France Now almost everywhere I dance On pendants and patches Uniforms and Flags Artistically, I am thusly enhanced 4) Though not as wicked as death I bare the same name We do both end lives Our tools are the same 5) Now that the sun has dipped below the horizon There's an eatery of sorts, that I've got my eyes on With a patio and chairs I can sit outside on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 itachi-san Posted April 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 I like these guesses very much: phoenix and winter solstice, but nonetheless they are not the theme. Here is a big-time hint. I only recommend it if you've had enough of thinking about this one Reveal hidden contents a google search on #1 would probably enlighten you about the darker riddles.

Question
itachi-san
The following verses each have an individual answer. They are all also related. What does each verse represent and what is the common theme?
1) Standing tall, old and proud
Symbolic of Hades' prickly shroud
2) The bright stand out and clearly show
A wind above the town below
3) Raised in Italy, brought to France
Now almost everywhere I dance
On pendants and patches
Uniforms and Flags
Artistically, I am thusly enhanced
4) Though not as wicked as death
I bare the same name
We do both end lives
Our tools are the same
5) Now that the sun has dipped below the horizon
There's an eatery of sorts, that I've got my eyes on
With a patio and chairs I can sit outside on
