I�ve just gotten a riddle that I cant find anywhere and that I cant figure it out too. It was translated to portuguese, so I�ll try to translate it back. It wont be the exactly the same...

It is something like this:

In the beggining, a man known to be gray has lost it self sundenly, for what they say.
Commands, words and phrases let him binded until this attempt made on the solid entrance.

You see, there is the difficult of my own handcapped english, of a translation that I dont know the quality and of a very bad retranslation. :slight_smile:

"Nature is not cruel, only pitilessly indifferent. This lesson is one of the hardest for humans to learn. We cannot accept that things might be neither good nor evil, neither cruel nor kind, but simply callous: indifferent to all suffering, lacking all purpose."

Your riddle seems to clearly refer to Gandalf's imprisonment by
Saruman atop Orthanc but with the translation I'm not sure what
exactly the riddle is asking. Would it be possible for you to find
and post the original riddle prior to translation?

No, I couldn�t. In fact, I was hoping someone had it because in portuguese we cant figure what it�s asking also.
But, couldn�t it be referring to the episode in Moria?

OK I finally found the english version of this riddle with the
answer.

In earlier times a man known in grey
  was suddenly at a loss for what to say.
    Words, commands, and phrases left it bound
      til this attempt did at the entry sound.

Ah- the western gate to Moria!

Makes a great deal more sense now.
