His ears stuck out like teacups
and his tongue, my God, his tongue,
like a red worm and when he kissed
it crawled right in.”

Or wilt thou go ask the Mole?
Can wisdom be put in a silver rod,
Or love in a golden bowl?”

“I will frankly declare, that after passing a few weeks in this valley of the Marquesas, I formed a higher estimate of human nature than I had ever before entertained. But alas! since then I have been one of the crew of a man-of-war, and the pent-up wickedness of five hundred men has nearly overturned all my previous theories.”
