Lewis Carroll
Will you walk a little faster? said a whiting to a snail, There's a porpoise close behind us, and he's treading on my tail! See how eagerly the lobsters and the turtles all advance: They are waiting on the shingle--will you come and join the dance?
Lewis Carroll
In a wonderland they lie, dreaming as the days go by
Lewis Carroll
