"A map has no vocabulary, no lexicon of precise meanings. It communicates in lines, hues, tones,
coded symbols, and empty spaces, much like music.
Nor does a map have its own voice. It is many-tongued, a chorus reciting centuries of accumulated knowledge
in echoed chants. A map provides no
answers. It only suggests where to look: discover this, reexamine that, put one thing in relation
to another, orient yourself, begin
here...Sometimes a map speaks in terms of physical geography, but just as often it muses on the
jagged terrain of the heart, the distant vistas of
memory, or the fantastic landscapes of dreams."
`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.
`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
