Here is a little riddle for April. This riddle may be derived
from the 4th or 5th century Latin riddle of Symphosius
which reads in translation:

Writing has nourished me, yet I know no letters.
I've lived in books, yet I've learned nothing.
I've devoured the muses, yet I'm unenlightened.

What am I?

(The answer is below)

Enjoy,

Ariann
