Lewis Carroll Zitate

Lewis Carroll war ein britischer Schriftsteller des viktorianischen Zeitalters, Fotograf, Mathematiker und Diakon.

Er ist der Autor der berühmten Kinderbücher Alice im Wunderland, Alice hinter den Spiegeln und The Hunting of the Snark. Mit seiner Befähigung für Wortspiel, Logik und Fantasie schaffte er es, weite Leserkreise zu fesseln. Seine Werke, als sogenannte Nonsense-Literatur bezeichnet, sind bis heute populär geblieben und haben nicht nur die Kinderliteratur, sondern ebenso Schriftsteller wie James Joyce, die Surrealisten wie André Breton und den Maler und Bildhauer Max Ernst oder den Kognitionswissenschaftler Douglas R. Hofstadter beeinflusst. Bekannt wurde Carroll auch als Fotograf: Wie Julia Margaret Cameron und Oscar Gustave Rejlander betrieb er bereits ab der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts Fotografie als Kunst.

Seen faintly in the golden gleam
Athwart Time's dark resistless stream?”

Seen faintly in the golden gleam
Athwart Time's dark resistless stream?Bowed to the earth with bitter woe
Or laughing at some raree-show
We flutter idly to and fro.Man's little Day in haste we spend,
And, from its merry noontide, send
No glance to meet the silent end.</p
