The wabe · brillig light

Jabberwock

’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe.

Walk the wabe, find the Tumtum tree, and carry the vorpal blade into the tulgey wood. The story is waiting in the dark.

Uffish thought · the wood inhales

Beware the Jabberwock

“Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!”

The Tumtum tree bends toward a path of blue-black roots. Take one breath. Then cross the threshold and make the snicker-snack sing.

Frabjous day · callooh · callay

The head is won.

One, two! One, two! And through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back. “And hast thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy!”

The eyes of flame are dark. In the brightened wabe, the slithy toves gyre and gimble beneath the Tumtum tree.

The tulgey wood · a close call

The wood keeps its secret.

The Jabberwock still burbles in the dark. Keep moving when it lunges, then close the distance before the vorpal strike.
