From the beginning of eternity
To the end of time and space

And the end of every place.
What am I?
Riddle 33
In a marble hall white as milk
Lined with skin as soft as silk
Within a fountain crystal-clear
A golden apple doth appear.
No doors there are to this stronghold,
Yet thieves break in to steal its gold.

Until I am measured,
I am not known.
Yet how you miss me,

Wind is my foe.
What am I?

Lighter than what I'm made of,
More of me is hidden than is seen.
What am I?

You need a key.
No key that was made by locksmith's hand,
But a key that only I will understand.
What am I?

I give you a group of three. One is sitting down and will never get up. The second eats as much as is given to him, yet is always hungry. The third goes away and never returns. What are they?

That one red leaf, nearest of its clan,
Which dances as often as dance it can.

Riddle 47
What does man love more than life?
Fear more than death or mortal strife?

In mystic force and magic spelling

One without and one within.
