I've searched the net on this subject and found nothing even probable as a good response.
I would love to hear others answers to this riddle.
My answer is, that they are both symbols of civilization and to remove either is to end
civilization.
That is, the 'WRITING DESK' is where writing occurs and writing, or literature, IS
civilization; as in without the writing desk there is no writing and without that there is
no civilization.
The RAVEN part of the riddle is a little more complex, but it goes like this. Legend has
it that when the last raven leaves the Tower of London the British Monarchy will fall. So
if the Monarchy IS Civilization then without the raven there is no monarchy and without
them there is no civilization.
