Please to fancy, if you can, that you are reading a real letter, from a real friend whom you have seen, and whose voice you can seem to yourself to hear wishing you, as I do now with all my heart, a happy Easter. Do you know that delicious dreamy feeling when one first wakes on a summer morning, with the twitter of birds in the air, and the fresh breeze coming in at the open window—when, lying lazily with eyes half shut, one sees as in a dream green boughs waving, or waters rippling in a golden light? It is a pleasure very near to sadness, bringing tears to one's eyes like a beautiful picture or poem. And is not that a Mother's gentle hand that undraws your curtains, and a Mother's sweet voice that summons you to rise? To rise and forget, in the bright sunlight, the ugly dreams that frightened you so when all was dark—to rise and enjoy another happy day, first kneeling to thank that unseen Friend, who sends you the beautiful sun? Are these strange words from a writer of such tales as "Alice"? And is this a strange letter to find in a book of nonsense? It may be so. Some perhaps may blame me The Hunting of the Snark: An Agony in Eight Fits thus mixing together things grave and gay; others may smile and think it odd that any one should speak of solemn things at all, except in church and on a Sunday: but I think—nay, I am sure—that some children will read this gently and lovingly, and in the spirit in which I have written it. For I do not believe God means us thus to divide life into two halves —to wear a grave face on Sunday, and to think it out-of-place to even so much as mention Him on a week-day. Do you think He cares to see only kneeling figures, and to hear only tones of prayer—and that He does not also love to see the lambs leaping in the sunlight, and to hear the merry voices of the children, as they roll among the hay? Surely their innocent laughter is as sweet in His ears as the grandest anthem that ever The Hunting of the Snark: An Agony in Eight Fits up from the "dim religious light" of some solemn cathedral? And if I have written anything to add to those stores of innocent and healthy amusement that are laid up in books for the children I love so well, it is The Hunting of the Snark: An Agony in Eight Fits something I may hope to look back upon without shame and sorrow as how much of life must then be recalled! This Easter sun will rise on you, dear child, feeling your "life in every limb," and eager to rush out into the fresh morning air—and many an Easter- day will come and go, before it finds you feeble and gray-headed, creeping wearily out to bask once more in the sunlight—but it is good, even now, to think sometimes of that great morning when the "Sun of Righteousness The Hunting of the Snark: An Agony in Eight Fits arise with healing in his wings. Surely your gladness need not be the less for the thought that you will one day see a brighter dawn than this—when lovelier sights will meet your eyes than any waving trees or rippling waters—when angel-hands shall undraw your curtains, and sweeter tones than ever loving Mother breathed shall wake you to a The Hunting of the Snark: An Agony in Eight Fits and glorious day—and when all the sadness, and the sin, that darkened life on this little earth, shall be forgotten like the dreams of a night that is past! A way, fond thoughts, and vex my soul no more! If—and the thing is wildly possible—the charge of writing nonsense were ever brought against the author of this brief but instructive poem, it would be based, I feel convinced, on the line in p. In view of this painful possibility, I will not as I might appeal indignantly to my other writings as The Hunting of the Snark: An Agony in Eight Fits proof that I am incapable of such a deed: I will not as I might point to the strong moral purpose of this poem itself, to the arithmetical principles so cautiously inculcated in it, or to its noble teachings in Natural History—I will take the more prosaic course of simply explaining how it happened. The Bellmanwho was almost morbidly sensitive about appearances, used to have the bowsprit unshipped once or twice a week to be revarnished, and it more than once happened, when the time came for replacing it, that no one on board could remember which end of the ship it belonged to. They knew it was not of the slightest use to appeal to the Bellman about it— he would only refer to his Naval Code, and read out in pathetic tones Admiralty Instructions which none of them had ever been able to understand— so it generally ended in its being fastened on, anyhow, across the rudder. The helmsman 1 used to stand by with tears in his eyes; he knew it was all wrong, but alas! During these bewildering intervals the ship usually sailed backwards. Such is Human Perversity. This also seems a fitting occasion to notice the other hard words in that poem. Now open your mouth and speak. Speak or die! Not even a shriek! London : Macmillan,published on-line by:. Last updated Sat Jan 13 PREFACE If—and the thing is wildly possible—the charge of writing nonsense were ever brought against the author of this brief but instructive poem, it would be based, I feel convinced, on the line in p. Concept is divorced from percept, and thought moves among abstractions. Our eyes have been reduced to instruments with which to identify and to measure; hence we suffer a paucity of ideas that can be expressed in images and in an incapacity to discover meaning in what we see. Naturally we feel lost in the presence of objects that make sense only to undeluted vision, and we seek refuge in the more familiar medium of words. The inborn capacity to understand through the eyes has been put to sleep and must be reawakened. Carroll The Hunting of the Snark | poem by Carroll | Britannica The fanciful eight-canto poem describes the sea voyage of a bellman, boots bootblackbonnet maker, barristerbroker, billiard marker, banker, beaverbaker, and butcher and their search for the elusive undefined snark. A dedicatory poem that Carroll attached to the work contained an acrostic on the name of his then-favourite child friend, Gertrude Chataway, whose name is also found in the first words of each stanza of the poem: Girt, Rude, Chat, Away. While scholars have attributed to the work hidden meanings from political subversion to existential agony, Carroll maintained that it was intended simply as nonsense. Home Literature Poetry.

Wonderful books for a wonderful priceBy llamapyrLewis Carroll must've been the greatest children's book author of his time. I really admire his writing style and the creativity of his books, having grown up on them since I was 6. I've got a bunch of his novels in hardcover and paperback sitting on my shelves, so it seemed only right to add some digital versions to my library :)Anyway, I came here looking for Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass and found this set, and for a mere 99 cents it seemed worth a look.

  • Christ Church Library, Carroll Collection
    Christ Church Library, Carroll Collection Digitised image notes and captions by Edward Wakeling G10 - The Hunting of the Snark - Printed Proofs of the Illustrations Introductory Notes: Charles L. Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) began composing the epic poem, The Hunting of the Snark, on 22 July 1874. He tells us that the last line of the last stanza, “For the Snark was a Boojum, you see” came into his head while on a solitary walk over the North Downs near Guildford on 18 July, and the rest was composed, backwards. That night he had helped care for his cousin and godson, Charlie Wilcox, who was dying of consumption. He recorded in his Diaries that he completed the poem of 88 stanzas on 6 November 1875. However, this was not the case – he continued writing stanzas until 17 January 1876, when the poem was complete in 141 stanzas, covering eight cantos, each called a “Fit.” Originally intended for inclusion in another story for children, The Hunting of the Snark became long enough for publication in its own right. Dodgson chose Henry Holiday, artist, sculptor, and stained-glass window designer, as the illustrator of the Snark. The first mention of this arrangement comes in Dodgson’s Diaries on 23 November 1874 when he invited John Ruskin for a talk about the pictures that Holiday had submitted so far. Dodgson recorded that Ruskin, whose advice he valued, “...disheartened me by holding out no hopes that Holiday would be able to illustrate a book satisfactorily.” However, the commission remained and Holiday later reminisced that Dodgson “wrote to me asking if I would design three illustrations to The Hunting of the Snark, in three cantos, of which he sent me the MS.

  • Untangling the Knot
    Untangling the Knot An Analysis of Lewis Carroll’s The Hunting of the Snark ''A knot!” said Alice. "Oh, do let me help to undo it!"1 “These problems were all called Knots and were told in the form of stories.” Belle Moses, the author of Lewis Carroll In Wonderland And At Home on Carroll’s puzzle and logic books2 In 1872, Charles Lutwidge Dodgson wrote a monograph on The New Belfry of Christ Church, Oxford. He used the pseudonym D. C. L., a rather elementary scrambling of his initials, last name first, for Dodgson, Charles Lutwidge. In a further story in the set, he created himself as a character, Mr. De Ciel, a phonetic sounding out of those same scrambled initials, which had the added appeal of meaning “Of Heaven” in French. “Everything has a moral,” he wrote, as D. C. L., “if you choose to look for it.”3 In this, he was echoing the words he’d put in the mouth of the Duchess in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland years before, which was, “Everything’s got a moral, if only you can find it.” Years later, he’d have Sylvie of Sylvie and Bruno say, “There generally is a Moral.”4 1 Quotation selected by Carroll to head his appendix of answers to the Knots presented in A Tangled Tale, Carroll, Lewis, 1832-1898.

With Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865), children’s literature escaped from the grimly moral tone of evangelical tracts to delight in magical worlds populated by talking rabbits and stubborn lobsters. A key work in modern fantasy literature, it is the prototype of the portal quest, in which readers are invited to follow the protagonist into an alternate world of the fantastic. The Alice books are one of the best-known works in world literature. They have been translated into over one hundred languages, and are referenced and cited in academic works and popular culture to this day.

The real testament to Carroll’s genius is that after a century and a half, he is still held in the highest esteem by an ever-growing audience of young and old, novice and scholar, logician and lover of nonsense”.

Whelan, 1 Veronica Whelan English 295 Professor Burton 30 March 2016 Sylvie and Bruno and the Loss of Innocence Sylvie and Bruno, written by Lewis Carroll, is a novel that dismally few people have heard about. It was written in the year 1889, and was considered by Carroll to be something of a break away from his earlier works (and among these earlier works are included such classics as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and The Hunting of the Snark). Sadly, while these earlier works take the spotlight, for lack of a better phrase, Sylvie and Bruno and its sequel, Sylvie and Bruno Concluded have remained relatively untouched by critics' hands. This novel, however, is something to look at. Within this novel, Carroll has combined both the whimsical (and at times almost disturbing) nonsense which he is known for, and something entirely different--a very obvious, very intentional meaning.

    Classic Poetry Series Lewis Carroll - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Lewis Carroll(27 January 1832 – 14 January 1898) Charles Lutwidge Dodgson better known by the pseudonym Lewis Carroll, was an English author, mathematician, logician, Anglican deacon and photographer. His most famous writings are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass, as well as the poems "The Hunting of the Snark" and "Jabberwocky", all examples of the genre of literary nonsense. He is noted for his facility at word play, logic, and fantasy, and there are societies dedicated to the enjoyment and promotion of his works and the investigation of his life in many parts of the world, including the United Kingdom, Japan, the United States, and New Zealand. Antecedents Dodgson's family was predominantly northern English, with Irish connections. Conservative and High Church Anglican, most of Dodgson's ancestors were army officers or Church of England clergymen. His great-grandfather, also Charles Dodgson, had risen through the ranks of the church to become Bishop of Elphin. His grandfather, another Charles, had been an army captain, killed in action in Ireland in 1803, when his two sons were hardly more than babies. His mother's name was Frances Jane Lutwidge. The elder of these sons – yet another Charles Dodgson – was Carroll's father. He reverted to the other family tradition and took holy orders. He went to Westminster School, and thence to Christ Church, Oxford. He was mathematically gifted and won a double first degree, which could have been the prelude to a brilliant academic career.
