Famous quotes containing the words regular and/or garden:

    ““I couldn’t afford to learn it,” said the Mock Turtle with a sigh. “I only took the regular course.”
    “What was that?” inquired Alice.
    “Reeling and Writhing, of course, to begin with,” the Mock Turtle replied; “and then the different branches of Arithmetic—Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision.”
    “I never heard of ‘Uglification,’” Alice ventured to say.”
    —Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    “The garden flew round with the angel,
    The angel flew round with the clouds,
    And the clouds flew round and the clouds few round
    And the clouds flew round with the clouds.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
