riddle, n.Definitions

The Riddle is not described but circumscribed, a circle of words drawn around it.

A Riddle is a description of objects in ways that is intended to suggest something entirely different.

The Riddle is essentially a charm in reverse: it represents the revolt of the intelligence against the hypnotic power of commanding words.
