Alice Through the Looking Glass

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland en Through the Looking-Glass (And What Alice Found There) blijven een bron van inspiratie. Dit standbeeld had ik nog niet eerder gezien. Guildford Castle, Surry, Engeland. De foto is afkomstig van de site Looking At Glass, waar nog meer foto’s te vinden zijn.

The more there is of mine, the less there is of yours

'Very true,' said the Duchess: 'flamingoes and mustard both bite. And the moral of that is—"Birds of a feather flock together."'
'Only mustard isn't a bird,' Alice remarked.
'Right, as usual,' said the Duchess: 'what a clear way you have of putting things!'
'It's a mineral, I THINK,' said Alice.
'Of course it is,' said the Duchess, who seemed ready to agree to everything that Alice said; 'there's a large mustard-mine near here. And the moral of that is—"The more there is of mine, the less there is of yours."'

Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?

'Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?'
'That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,' said the Cat.
'I don't much care where—' said Alice.
'Then it doesn't matter which way you go,' said the Cat.
'—so long as I get SOMEWHERE,' Alice added as an explanation.
'Oh, you're sure to do that,' said the Cat, 'if you only walk long enough.'

Op de laatste foto hierboven zie je Alice Liddell (op jongere leeftijd inspiratiebron van Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, Lewis Carroll). De vrij bekende foto hieronder is door Dodgson zelf genomen. (Zie ook Qui est-elle ? Enfin la solution...).
