Nonsense

Is this entertainment for you Gentlemen? This spectacle which arises before your very eyes, fools and wolves, diamonds pretending to be jades, and meres imagining themselves to be firm yet tender earth, avoided by all except the gullible. The real flask of character is yet unpoured, the real trial undrunk in its full. For time will crack the jar of the world and unleash meaning- which flows by various streams through air and earth, running, and pooling at last in the cup of the soul. This change has never been complete, and never, never will be. The jar is never as broken as we thought it was. The wolf becomes a jade to a diamond is a fish, and out of the strong, Gentlemen, out of the strong. We will ring in every change until the last, and even then. There are things that haven't tried us yet.

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"
