    :-: "Late, as in 'the late Dentarthurdent'."

    Versions of this have been banging around in my head for months (clue?). Good to see familiar faces from the .net days.

    It's one of my usual "cryptic" efforts. Easy?...

    half of half of half of half = anything to do with quarters or eighths, or fractions of the letters in these?

    Van Gogh had only one ear,
    he cut his other one off to
    get the attention of a woman.
    Though how this could help
    I do not know.

    The answer is within

    all matter is energy, all energy is GOD

    Yes you do alinda! You've just solved the last part of the riddle

    I should have explained... the answer's a well-known phrase, more than one word, split into four phonetic syllables, each one represented by each line of the riddle. So the last (phonetic) syllable is indeed "ear".

    Man, that sounds complex

    16th letter of the alphabet M_D.

    I know, a bit cryptic but it made a nice rhyme
