Riddle:
I begin eternity,
And end space,
At the end of time,
And in every place,
Last in life,
Second to death,
Never alone,
Found in your breath,
Contained by earth,
Water or flame,
My grandeur so awesome,
Wind dare not tame,
Not in your mind,
Am in your dreams,
Vacant to Kings,
Present to Queens.
What am I?

Answer: The letter "E"

My first is in wield, sever bones and marrow.

My last will put an end to it all.
What am I?

In the dark night flies a many-hued phantom.
It soars and spreads its wings

And every night it is born anew
and every day it dies!
What is it?

Answer: Hope or dreams

No matter how fast you run,
Yet I nearly perish
In the midday sun.
