Follow the curving and flowing letters,
Winding across the page with grace.
Or find a soothing and calm oasis,
Where anyone can transcend time and space.
If you find Frank in the heart of Rome,
You'll be in the right place.

I'm thinking Frank is either Zappa or Sinatra. Other than that I'm lost. :orely:

No, thats not correct. Sinatra is referred to in part of the riddle though.
Frank and Grace? is that the Sinatra reference?

I don't see the correct answer - the three couplets all refer to different uses of the same word.
dissecting the Riddle now.
"Follow the curving and flowing letters"
Tracing or reading?
ZoNeSeeK

Nope .. it does have something to do with writing, though

Can't match them to the other parts, but fancy ways of writting are script and calligraphy.

Think of this whole process practically and it might help

I dont see the correct answer
I am as stumped as I was the first time I read this one!

I don't see the correct answer - the three couplets all refer to different uses of the same word.
Bump
I am just confused as to which Frank is refered to by name in the riddle.

I don't see the correct answer - the three couplets all refer to different uses of the same word.
So...
Follow the curving and flowing letters,
Winding across the page with grace...... ANSWER
Or find a soothing and calm oasis,
Where anyone can transcend time and space..... ANSWER
But remember what Frank sung,
And you're in the right place....ANSWER
And all three ANSWERs are the same word, spelled the same?
Or do I misunderstand the above clue?
ZoNeSeeK
11-21-2007, 02:15 PM
Yes Maturin's Daughter, thats mostly correct - each couplet refers to a thing or saying that share a common word.

I believe we are entitled to a hint after so much time. Don't make me beg. It isn't pretty.
ZoNeSeeK
12-06-2007, 07:21 PM
The second couplet would have the most literal meaning of the answer.

No, getting warmer in a way.
Tel was on the ball for the first couplet when she was talking about calligraphy.

We are following the winding letters and moving thru time and space while we listen to Frank Sinatra sing "imagination".

Ok then this has to be a reference to Sinatra's Three Coins in a Fountain.
So "fountain" is the right place?
Fountain pen?
Two writing references.
Is it a fantasy novel?
ZoNeSeeK

The answer is Fountain, you got it Jon ;)
