Alice




and Lewis Carrols description of Alice's personality:

"What wert thou, dream-Alice, in thy foster-father's eyes? How shall he picture thee? Loving, first, loving and gentle: loving as a dog (forgive the prosaic simile, but i know no earthly love so pure and perfect), and gentle as a fawn: then courteous to all, high or low, grand or grotesque, King or caterpillar, even as though she were herself a King's daughter, and her clothing of wrought gold: then trustful, ready to accept the wildest impossibilites with all that utter trust that only dreamers know; and lastly, curious-wildly curious, and with the eager enjoyment of Life that comes only the happy hours of childhood, when all is new and fair, and when Sin and Sorrow are but names- empty words signifying nothing."

from The Annotated Alice

A book i got from a friend i hold VERY dear.

This "personality" of Alice is what I strive to have every day. And Wish that i actully DID have every day.

much love and especially to peter.
