Riddle: My dress is tranquil when I tread the earth, or dwell at home, or drift on the water. Sometimes my wings and this wide sky lift me over the dwellings of men, and then strong clouds carry me over the people. My ornaments echo loudly and melodiously, Illustriously sing when I am not near the earth and stream, a sailing spirit.
What am I?
Answer: A swan.

Riddle: There is not wind enough to twirl That one red leaf, nearest of its clan, Which dances as often as dance it can. What is it?
Answer: The answer is “flame” (or “fire”). This riddle is related to a quote by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. The “one red leaf” is a metaphor for a tongue of flame on a low fire, which “dances” and flickers even when there isn’t enough wind to twirl an actual leaf. Coleridge’s imagery captures how a small flame closest to the embers moves restlessly with the slightest draft, appearing like a red leaf among its “clan” of other flames and coals

Riddle: With potent, flowery words speak I, Of something common, vulgar, dry; I weave webs of pedantic prose, In effort to befuddle those, Who think I while time away, In lofty things, above all-day The common kind that lingers where Monadic beings live and fare; Practical I may not be, But life, it seems, is full of me! What am I?
Answer: A riddler. ( or riddle )
