"a boat beneath a sunny sky
lingering onward dreamily
in an evening of july

children three that nestle near
eager eye and willing ear
pleased a simple tale to hear

long has paled that sunny sky
echos fade and memories die
autumn frosts have slain july

still she haunts me, phantomwise
alice moving under skies
never seen by waking eyes

children yet, the tale to hear
eager eye and willing ear
lovingly shall nestle near

in a wonderland they lie
dreaming as the days go by
dreaming as the summers die

ever drifting down the stream
lingering in the golden gleam
life is nothing but a dream"

-lewis carrol
from "alice in wonderland"


"through me the way into the suffering city,
through me the way to the eternal pain,
through me the way that runs among the lost.
justice urged on my high artificer
my maker was divine authority
the highest wisdom, and the primal love
before me nothing but eternal things were made,
and i endure eternally.
abandon every hope, who enter here."

-dante alighieri
from "the inferno" (aka. dante's inferno)
