    "'The time has come,' the Walrus said,
         'To talk of many things;
     Of shoes --and ships --and sealingwax --
         Of cabbages --and kings --
     And why the sea is boiling hot --
         And whether pigs have wings.'"

                 -Lewis Carroll
                  _Through the Looking-Glass_
