With slow, reluctant feet, and weary eyes,
And eye-lids heavy with the coming sleep,
With small breasts lifted up in stress of sighs,
She passed, as shadows pass, among the sheep;
While the earth dreamed, and only I was ware
Of that faint fragrance blown from her soft hair.

“Nonsense delights us I think because it offers us language in mutation, in gestation — how much richer English is for “brillig” and “snark!” — and because it ridicules pompous, vain, and obsessive behavior.”
