• for instance, take the two words "fuming" and "furious." make up your mind that you will say both words, but leave it unsettled which you will say first. now open your mouth and speak. if your thoughts incline ever so little towards " fuming," you will say "fuming-furious;" if they turn, by even a hair's breadth, towards "furious," you will say "furious-fuming;" but if you have the rarest of gifts, a perfectly balanced mind, you will say "frumious."
  
  supposing that, when pistol uttered the well-known words--

• carroll, kendi yazdığı önsözde, "bu şiir neyi simgelemektedir diye soranlara cevabım şudur; bilmiyorum" der
• içinde şöyle ilginç bir haritayı barındıran kitap:
  
  “other maps are such shapes, with their islands and capes! but we've got our brave captain to thank” (so the crew would protest) “that he's brought us the best—a perfect and absolute blank!”.
