Reminiscences
'Lessons
were called lessons' the Gryphon said, 'because
they
lessen every day'. And then thought Alice, 'you must
have
a holiday.'
And
what were these lessons?
Why
'Reeling and writhing of course, to begin with' said
the
Mock Turtle, 'and then the different branches of
Arithmetic,
- Ambition, Distraction, Uglification and
Derision.'
- Lewis Carroll, Alice through the looking-glass
