"You are old, Father William," the young man said,
"And your hair has become very white;
And yet you incessantly stand on your head-
Do you think, at your age, it is right?"
Lewis Carroll Alice in Wonderland
The nineteenth century has made one real discovery,
the discovery of what arc called Nonsense Books.
They are so entirely the creation of our time that
we ought to value them like electricity or compulsory education.
G. K. Chesterton
