I have read two poems included in Through the Looking Glass (listed and rated below):

  • “Jabberwocky”: This is a poem from Lewis Carroll’s book Through the Looking-Glass. It includes a bunch of nonsense words that tell a surprisingly decipherable story. The poem is an interesting tool for revealing the nature of language and grammar. Rating: 4.5/5
  • “The White Knight’s Song”: This poem recounts the bizarre interaction of the speaker and an old man. The speaker repeatedly asks the old man how he lives but fails to listen to the odd answer in favor of pondering equally odd thoughts. Rating: 2.5/5
