The largest number no one can describe so short as this, the barber who shaves only those who don’t shave their own tress, Does the list of every list without itself, itself say? Let me warn you that I’m a Cretan, always lying anyway.

What is always in front of you, but can never be seen?

Shapeless I stand, yet I bar the way, I exist in the mind, but not in the day. I hold without hands, I bind without thread, And once I am known, my power has fled
