    It cannot be seen, cannot be felt
    Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.
    It lies behind stars and under hills,
    And empty holes it fills.
    It comes first and follows after,
    Ends life, kills laughter.

    ?
    Gentile or Jew,
    O you who turn the wheel and look to windward,
    Consider Phlebas, who was once handsome and tall as you...

    The answer is Dark.

    Next....

    A box without hinges, key or lid.
    Yet golden treasure inside is hid!

    Correct.

    Alive without breath,
    As cold as death;
    Never thirsty, ever drinking,
    All in mail, never clinking.

    (Anyone notice a pattern emerging?)

    The pattern is that you've nicked them all from the Lrd of the Rings where Bilbo and Gollum are playing the riddle game...

    Cheers,
