He took his vorpal sword in hand: Той в руки ворбний меч узяв, Long time the manxome foe he sought - Пішов і манського шукать So rested he by the Tumtum tree, Під тем-тем деревом він став, And stood a while in thought. Щоб в глибших мислях спочивать.

And as in uffish thought he stood, Як в оффах думи він стояв The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, З полумям в оці Жабивок Крізь ліс толчистий завафлав, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, Ще й з бурбулами крок-у-крок. And burbled as it came!

"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock? ,,Ой! Жабивока ти убив? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! Юначе бінний!" — сильно обнімав. „Ой фрайний день! Келикалень!" О frabjous day! Calooh! Callay!" Він з радости прохіхотав He chortled in his joy.

— Lewis Carroll переклав Пантелеймон Пупчик

'Reflections' The village vira Elyjiw in front of the hotel, the man in green eyes me quizzically and asks me what the matter is. І am stunned as he must not know what my plans are. Smilingly, І regain my composure and file away my anxieties...Later, we all disappear in different directions to meet again and stash our American MacDonald stomachs into a little car. We are going to the village with fear in our hearts, as we have come for the first time, to see our country and our family. We could not bear being stopped by the Russian police. The road is deserted; fields stretch outward on both sides. Sometimes on the rocky beaten track we pass a cluster of houses.

Night begins to fall when we reach my grandfather's house. Moments become mystical revelations as eyes, ears, and hands, see, hear, and touch what for many years were only dreams. As we walk through the fields, we hear voices calling in the distance, "ivan has come home!" The darkness is velvety, and the feet never stumble over the much loved earth. The night protects the voices, the shiny eyes glistening with tears, and the soul-searching glances of those who know they will part when day breaks over the rooftops.

The End of the Line?

You have just read through one of the last literary - arts pages that will ever come into existence. After dozens of appeals —public, personal, printed, and spoken, - we are coming to the end of our supply of publishable material. No one writes anymore. Nobody illustrates. There is an absolute vacuum.

Come on, do you believe that? Everybody writes. Everybody draws nowadays. І know at least a hundred people who have come up with really good short stories, poems, photos, illustrations, but haven't sent it in because they didn't think we would want their work.

They were wrong. We want everybody's stuff. І want to see it. І want to touch it. So send it m — now!
