Lewis Carroll on Candles
← Back to Lewis Carroll Profile
“His intimate friends called him "Candle-ends"”
“"If that there King was to wake," added Tweedledum, "you'd go out - bang! - just like a candle!"”
“The candles all grew up to the ceiling, looking something like a bed of rushes with fireworks at the top.”
“I wonder if that's the reason insects are so fond of flying into candles - because they want to turn into Snap-dragon-flies!”
