Hello all.
I'm fairly new to Sleuth and I thought I might share a little hobby of mine with you all. Here's something for that sad moment when the mysteries of the day are all done.
Thousands lay up gold within this house,
but no man made it.
Spears past counting guard this house,
but no man wards it.
What is it?

Hoorah for John Hale! Spot on. Field hospitals were overwhelmed because the number of fatalities went down, but the injuries went up. Well done.

Sila is it the Sun?
The Sun is part of what causes Thunder as it heats the rain in the clouds which causes Thunder and Lightening. You can see the light of the sun through the clouds and it's rays warm the Earth and dry the rain.

My love, when I gaze on thy beautiful face,
Careering along, yet always in place
The thought has often come into my mind
If I ever shall see thy glorious dark behind
What is it?
