‘Tis two score years since Carroll’s art, With topsy-turvy magic, Sent Alice wondering through a part Half-comic and half-tragic.Enchanting Alice! Black-and-white Has made your deeds perennial;And naught save ‘Chaos and old Night’Can part you now from Tenniel;But still you are a Type, and based In Truth, like Lear and Hamlet;And Types may be re-draped to taste In cloth-of-gold or camlet.
