PRAISE OF FAMOUS MEN: 5. LEWIS CARROLL by HUMBERT WOLFE

First Line: AS FOR ALICE LET HER STAND
Last Line: LOVE WILL MAKE THEM QUEENS.
Subject(s): CARROLL, LEWIS (1832-1898); DODGSON, CHARLES LUTWIDGE;
AS for Alice let her stand,
where these shadows pass
into those of Wonderland
through the looking-glass,

on the other side of things
teaching that chess means
that, though pawns cannot be kings,
love will make them queens.
