de Jabberwocky!
![]() The Jabberwocky Lewis Carroll (from Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, 1872) `Twas brillig, and the slithy toves ˙˙Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, ˙˙And the mome raths outgrabe. "Beware the Jabberwock, my son! ˙˙The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun ˙˙The frumious Bandersnatch!" He took his vorpal sword in hand: ˙˙Long time the manxome foe he sought -- So rested he by the Tumtum tree, ˙˙And stood awhile in thought. And, as in uffish thought he stood, ˙˙The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, ˙˙And burbled as it came! One, two! One, two! And through and through ˙˙The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head ˙˙He went galumphing back. "And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? ˙˙Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' ˙˙He chortled in his joy. `Twas brillig, and the slithy toves ˙˙Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves, ˙˙And the mome raths outgrabe. |
