"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."

--A poem by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, in comparison with one by Thomas Hood:

"And how the sprites of injured men

Shriek upward from the sod. --

Ay, how the ghostly hand will point

To show the burial clod:

And unknown facts of guilty acts

Are seen in dreams from God!"
