looking for a little humor
Last night in writing class the instructor was talking about poetry forms, devices, etc. One category was "Figures of ambiguity"... and in there is the enigma or riddle. I'm sure his example is fairly well known, comes from.. Plato, I think. What surprised was that I figured it out and none of the others did. By now we're a small class... maybe 20 in all. We're all still speaking to each other, but I suspect that will change since next week he will start reading and critiquing the pieces we have sent to him. Anyway the riddle:
What we find, we leave behind.
What we do not find,
that we take with us.
If you know the answer because you read it somewhere, just comment that you know it. Otherwise leave your guesses.
