The Miniature and the Gigantic
Alice opened the door and found that it led into a small passage, not
much larger than a rat-hole: she knelt down and looked along the passage into the
loveliest garden you ever saw. How she longed to get out of that dark hall, and
wander about among those beds of bright flowers and those cool fountains, but
she could not even get her head through the doorway; 'and even if my head would
go through,' thought poor Alice, 'it would be of very little use without my
shoulders. Oh, how I wish I could shut up like a telescope! I think I could, if
I only knew how to begin.' For, you see, so many out-of-the-way things had
happened lately, that Alice had begun to think that very few things indeed were
really impossible.... (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll)
