Complete the quote twas brillig and the slithy toves
gtnhenbr [62]

The complete quote is:

‘Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;

All mimsy were the borogoves,

And the mome raths outgrabe.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A non-sense poetry which was penned by Lewis Carroll about the killing of a species called "the Jabberwock" the monster. It relies on a misunderstanding of language instead of on "non-sense," enabling the audience to infer language and thus engage in narration as lexical allusions swim underneath the poem's surface.

The poem has been translated so far in 65 languages, which was hectic. Its playful, fanciful language gave English words of nonsense and neologisms like "galumphing" and "chortle." The nonsense verse idea was not unique to Carroll, who should have learned about the chapbooks.
