Lewis Carroll’s manuscript of “Alice’s Adventures Under Ground”
“I do not know if ‘Alice in Wonderland’ was an original story — I was, at least, no conscious imitator in writing it — but I do know that, since it came out, something like a dozen story-books have appeared, on identically the same pattern. The path I timidly explored believing myself to be ‘the first that ever burst into that silent sea’ — is now a beaten high-road: all the way-side flowers have long ago been trampled into the dust: and it would be courting disaster for me to attempt that style again.”

Can I just point out how beautiful the fluidity of the cape is?
Grant Morrison brought so much into this series.
It’s funny. The difference between silence and quiet. Silence has a hum behind it. A nervousness. The fear of making a sound. Quiet is absence. It is rest. Silence is breath held. Quiet is soft breathing. Tonight Gotham is quiet.
Erik Ross, Lillian Ross, Matthew Salinger, J. D. Salinger, and Peggy Salinger, in Central Park.
