“So the Snark found the verdict, although as it owned,
It was spent with the toils of the day:
When it said the word GUILTY! the Jury all groaned,
And some of them fainted away.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (18321898)
“The rivers tent is broken; the last fingers of leaf
Clutch and sink into the wet bank. The wind
Crosses the brown land, unheard. The nymphs are departed.
Sweet Thames, run softly, till I end my song.
The river bears no empty bottles, sandwich papers,
Silk handkerchiefs, cardboard boxes, cigarette ends
Or other testimony of summer nights.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
