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 favourite excerpts with you. Enjoy:
How doth the little crocodile
Improve his shining tale,
And pour the waters of the Nile
On every golden scale!
Twinkle twinkle little bat!
How I wonder what you're at...
Up above the world you fly
Like 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 favourite parts of the books?
