Frequent rereading of The Ballad of the White Horse, especially of the third book, in an attempt at memorization + reading through the script of Alice in Wonderland (combined with Through the Looking Glass, our drama groups' first performance) numerous times= the rather odd combination, which you see below, running through the head:
How swiftly and with peril
They gather all good things,*
Shoes and ships and sealing wax
Of cabbages and kings*
*The high horns of the forest beasts,
Or the secret stones of kings.
-From book three of The Ballad of the White Horse By G.K. Chesterton
*And why the sea is boiling hot
and whether pigs have wings
-From Through the Looking Glass By Lewis Carrol
