Congrats, tailor!
Let me ask you question one:
Are a man?
Um, yes, congratulations again tailor on recently posing such a fine riddle. :)
Now to the current one:
You'll find me full of vim and verve,
But my work strikes a less sanguine nerve.
Yes, a man.
PS The latest LitNet weirdness for me is that, even though I sign out, when I come back I am still signed in. So if you see me and ask a question, and I don't respond, I'm not ignoring you--I'm probably not really here. This too, one hopes, shall pass.
Congrats, PB! I was in hurry last time I entered the forum, so I sort of mixed things up. In fact meant to complimenti you both,Tailor for the riddle and PB for solving it so quickly..
Well, the next question.
Are you a novel writer?
Don't worry about checking out.I sometimes actually forget to check out.
Yes, novels among other things.
I forgot to add my congratulations PB... Congratulations!
Science Fiction writer ?
Ta ! (short for tarradiddle),
tailor STATELY
No, not at all. I was just teasing Danik for what was obviously a simple name slip. :)
Not a science fiction writer.
;)
Dear PB!I feel that I need more context on this or the general liberation. Kafka occurs me, but you obviously donŽt mean Kafka.
No, it's not Kafka. I'll give you more hints, but you should at least have tried to determine the writer's nationality. :)
Okay..
In Alfie's realm, in Vicky's reign,
And west among the English sexes,
It's there you'll find the answer plain
To riddle mine which most perplexes.
Lol. A Victorian then, though I have no idea where "Alfies realm" lies, but someone may.
Something to do with the poet Tennyson?
Yes, a Victorian. Alfie's realm lies west among the English sexes. If kev67 was playing he'd have it by now.Quote:

Just a guess
Thomas Hardy?
Of course it's Hardy. Full of vim and verve--so hardy, right? Wrote pessimistic novels about tragic characters in a failing English countryside. Revived the term Wessex (which previously referred to the ancient realm of King Alfred "Alfie" the Great) for his novels' setting.
Nice job! :)
Your turn now...
"Revived the term Wessex (which previously referred to the ancient realm of King Alfred "Alfie" the Great)" Useful information, Thanks, PB, for congrats and information.
I'll have to think a bit about a new riddle.
IŽll be back later.
Here is the new riddle:
"From a distant country I came,
my small body in chains,
My fettered voice brought fame,
Freedom, obscurity and pain.
Who am I?"
