I'm not a huge lover of poetry, but I find Lewis Carroll's use of poetry in Alice in Wonderland just beautifully written. So, I wanted to share a few of my favorite excerpts with you. Enjoy:
How doth the little crocodileImprove his shining tale,And pour the waters of the NileOn every golden scale!
~ From Chapter Two: The Pool of Tears
Twinkle twinkle little bat!How I wonder what you're at...Up above the world you flyLike a tea tray in the sky.
~ From Chapter Seven: A Mad Tea Party, and I believe was said by The Dormouse.
"The time has come," the Walrus said,"To talk of many things:Of shoes-and ships-and sealing-wax-Of Cabbages-and kings-And why the sea is boiling hot-And whether pigs have wings."
~ From Sequel Through The Looking Glass, Chapter Four. Recited in a story by Tweedledum and Tweedledee.
Are there any other Alice fans out there :) What are your favorite parts of the books?
