No

No :)

I thought I might do something different as well. No idea if this is going to be easy or difficult. :) [ATTACH=full]3993[/ATTACH]

Really? :D My first guess out of 3 phrases that I think that could have fitted. Speed of sound: And birds go flying / all birds that fly How you see the world: it's complicated / is complicated. Ok, I have something in mind but it needs a little preparation.

See you soon (In a telescope lens / the telescope ends)

This really makes sense!

I can't give you a page number but if you go to the URL in the riddle, you have to click on the several links. 1. Volume IV 2. Book Third 3. Chapter III last paragraph : [ATTACH=full]3987[/ATTACH] In text form so you can copy it: Algebra is applied to the clouds; the radiation of the star profits the rose; no thinker would venture to affirm that the perfume of the hawthorn is useless to the constellations. Who, then, can calculate the course of a molecule? How do we know that the creation of worlds is not determined by the fall of grains of sand? Who knows the reciprocal ebb and flow of the infinitely great and the infinitely little, the reverberations of causes in the precipices of being, and the avalanches of creation? The tiniest worm is of importance; the great is little, the little is great; everything is balanced in necessity; alarming vision for the mind. There are marvellous relations between beings and things; in that inexhaustible whole, from the sun to the grub, nothing despises the other; all have need of each other. The light does not bear away terrestrial perfumes into the azure depths, without knowing what it is doing; the night distributes stellar essences to the sleeping flowers. All birds that fly have round their leg the thread of the infinite. Germination is complicated with the bursting forth of a meteor and with the peck of a swallow cracking its egg, and it places on one level the birth of an earthworm and the advent of Socrates. Where the telescope ends, the microscope begins. Which of the two possesses the larger field of vision? Choose. A bit of mould is a pleiad of flowers; a nebula is an ant-hill of stars. The same promiscuousness, and yet more unprecedented, exists between the things of the intelligence and the facts of substance. Elements and principles mingle, combine, wed, multiply with each other, to such a point that the material and the moral world are brought eventually to the same clearness. The phenomenon is perpetually returning upon itself. In the vast cosmic exchanges the universal life goes and comes in unknown quantities, rolling entirely in the invisible mystery of effluvia, employing everything, not losing a single dream, not a single slumber, sowing an animalcule here, crumbling to bits a planet there, oscillating and winding, making of light a force and of thought an element, disseminated and invisible, dissolving all, except that geometrical point, the I; bringing everything back to the soul-atom; expanding everything in God, entangling all activity, from summit to base, in the obscurity of a dizzy mechanism, attaching the flight of an insect to the movement of the earth, subordinating, who knows? Were it only by the identity of the law, the evolution of the comet in the firmament to the whirling of the infusoria in the drop of water. A machine made of mind. Enormous gearing, the prime motor of which is the gnat, and whose final wheel is the zodiac.

Reading this text is giving me a headache. :) According to my poor English knowledge the only homophone word that I can find (and makes any sense to me) is the swallow. Another song which I can relate to that is Wedding bells?

Amsterdam?

First word that got my attention and might be a homophone: swallow Swallowed in the sea? edit: and it has references to the sea (grains of sand - ebb and flow - azure depths)

I have some problems with that ebook. The paragraph is starting with the word "Algebra" ?

Omg, you do realise that my mother language is Dutch? :-D

LOL. Are my clues making sense now? I had been checking with one of my friends if they were ok or not and she said it was.

And we have a winner!!!! I Ran Away Here is a list with my clues and reasonings. And I sneaked in some hints in my posts as well. :D

You should know by now that my clues are always cryptic and describing something. :D You are going to kick your head when you know the answer.

No you are not, you were on a good track with your reasoning. Reread all of my clues (and hints ;))

No

No

No! And I'm sorry this is driving you nuts. :) I'll give you antother clue: It's all over the media

It is working for me :)

Twisted Logic! I'm looking at a process that I'm running for my job, waiting for it to crash, which I know it is going to do (I've ran it 3x before) and I really have to restart it because it has to run for several hours after that point. But now it is already running 1 hour longer than before. The stupid thing won't crash. :D Luckily I have a second screen so I can take a look on Coldplaying too. :) Edit: 8 minutes later and it crashed! Woohoo. OK, now I'm at ease.

I'm listening to this Coldplay song of which I have made a riddle in the "Guess Coldplay Song" thread. It seems hard to solve. :pleased: It's such a beautiful song. :D

Adventure of a lifetime

Some special guests

I've read about that yesterday. Was it this article? http://www.theverge.com/2016/2/10/10959416/coldplay-congress-larsen-super-bowl-halftime-beyonce
