Even when you're turned upside down something is missing from the athenaeum, whatever have you done with it? We have considered alethiometers and castles in jars and Sorcerer's stones but we've found them all and they are locked up in vaults where they should be, away from grubby fingers and bleeding hearts. We've even examined the hidden kiss (except it was still hidden). Why must you be so stubborn, Alice? What have you got that I don't?
"Strawberry crumpets."
It could never cease, we could wait forever but you'd never give in (but you will give in). But you will give in, and we'll finally see beyond the Jar and nothing will ever be so tinted. Chatoyantly you'll grin, and one day (let's hope), even the Hatter'll make sense. Woebegone the creases, the meltings in the glass. I'd rather stay here than come from your part, heartless.
This is very cryptic... in a perfect, dreamy Carroll-esque sort of way.
ReplyDeleteAnd this may sound strange, but, thank you for introducing me to a new word: chatoyant!
I love to find new words - the more obscure the better. I collect them as if they were precious stones. :)
I agree with Melee, very Carroll-esque. And I dearly love the word woebegone; it makes me think of Keats.
ReplyDeleteI love those words too, I really like searching the internet for pretty ones.
ReplyDeleteThank you all from the bottom of my heart!

What an enchanting picture...and words!
ReplyDeleteThe picture is from the 1988 film "Alice". Hopefully I'll be able to watch it today - I heard it is much truer to the books than the Disney version.
ReplyDeleteThanks! xx
Oh wow! I need to watch the film that still comes from! It looks a little scary though (is it?) lovely blog!
