EPÍLOGO

If I have been able to see further, it was only because I stood on the shoulders of giants.

Isaac Newton

snark

There are several different varieties of snark. Some have feathers and bite, and some have whiskers and scratch. Some are Boojums, which appear a more dangerous kind. When a baker met with this variety, he softly and suddenly vanished away and was never met with again.

The taste of the snark is meager and hollow, but crisp (apparently like a coat that is too tight in the waist), with a flavor of Will-o-the-wisp. It is sometimes served with greens. It also sleeps late into the day. While the snark is very ambitious, and has very little sense of humor, it is very fond of bathing-machines, and constantly carries them about wherever it goes. It is also handy for striking a light.


The domain of the snark is an island filled with chasms and crags, many months' sail from England. On the same island may also be found other creatures such as the Jubjub and Bandersnatch. It is the same island where the Jabberwock was slain. The snark is a peculiar creature that cannot be captured in a commonplace way. Above all, courage is required during a snark hunt. The most common method is to seek it with thimbles, care, forks, and hope. One may also 'threaten its life with a railway share' or 'charm it with smiles and soap'.

Um grão de areia ou uma pedra,

To see the world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.

William Blake

Na água ambos se afundam

A jovem femea trepa o arbusto mais alto que encontra.
Sabe que a escolha do sitio é de vital importancia para a sua sobrevivência.
Esconde-se, e espera que o grande animal, milhões de vezes maior do que ela se acerque.
Ainda tem alguns dias e por isso pode esperar.
Sem que ele dê por isso, trepa para o flanco e começa a alimentar-se do seu sangue.

Alguns dias depois, a jovem mãe inchada como um medronho cai no solo, morta.
No seu ventre, os ovos resultantes de um momento efémero eclodem.
Os jovens alimentam-se do corpo da mãe.
Crescem e atingem a maturidade sexual ainda no ventre materno.
Os jovens machos fecundam as jovens femeas e morrem antes de nascer.
As femeas rompem o que resta do corpo da mãe e procuram o arbusto mais alto...

In the end, everything is a gag

I want to die peacefully while asleep like my grandfather, not screaming in terror like the passengers on his bus.

Apaixonaram-se por acaso, num acidente de automóvel. Ele foi projectado (quem o mandou não levar cinto?) do lugar do morto para o colo dela (quem a mandou andar de vidro aberto?), condutora albarroada. Curiosamente, ambos detestaram o Crash.

The supreme act of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.

All... or nothing at all

I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dryrot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.

Jack London
