I love Jabberwocky as well, but that's a single page, not 500.

That is a great comparison. I love Jabberwocky, but you can't read an entire book in that style. Yet Joyce apparently did write that book.

I've never read Joyce, but based on these couple of lines I think I understand Wells' letter. It's magnificent to be able to write like that, but please keep it short. Nobody can withstand that for more than a page or two.


I never realized that was Lewis Carroll. If you want to hear someone else pronounce it, Donovan made a song out of it.
