lewis carroll is not up there.... i love lewis carroll... not the least of which JABBERWOCKY!!!! but there's always "I passed by his garden" i passed by his garden and heard him declare "You have baked me too brown, i must sugar my hair!" as a duck with its eyelids so he with his nose, trims his belt and his buttons and turns out his toes when the sands are all dry he's as gay as a lark, and talks in contemptuous tones of the shark. but when the tide rises and sharks are around his voice has a timid and tremulous sound i passed by his garden and marked with one eye the owl and the panther were sharing a pie the panther took pie crust and gravy and meat the owl had the dish as his share of the treat when the pie was all finished, the owl, as a boon was kindly permitted to pocket the spoon the panther took knife and fork, with a growl and concluded the banquet--- ;D

Thats true Lewis Carrol is one of the better poets. What sucked is that he wrote in English, so until now, all the translations I have read of his work didnt make any sense. However I do realize that, I had forgotton him though, since I have been reading Poe and although he is good I have understood that i much prefer Edgar's flow. ;D
