I'm in the camp of trying to not read too much into the hint. None of the previous years' hints have given away enough of the game to make a difference.
I don't know if it's been brougnt up....has anyione compared the hint to poetry? It's been a long time since I learned that stuff, but the syllable structure reminds me of a haiku. From
Wikipedia In comtemporary English haikus, one of the rules

The only thing is that the hint has a 7-9-7 structure. Then I came across
this thread that says that 7-9-7 can be used as well.
The other thing I see is that the first line has 5 words, the middle has 8, and the last has 5...very symetrical...very diamondlike
Oh well, we'll all know in a few days.
