Goethe kannte noch keine Nachbarschaftstasten (z.B. u und i), Goete mit seinen breiten Fingern dagegen schon: Vom Euse befreut sund Strom ind Bäche Dirch des Frühlungs holden, belebenden Bluck, um Tale grünet Hoffningsglück; Der alte Wunter, un seuner Schwäche, Zog such un raihe Berge zirück. Von dort her sendet er, fluehend, nir Ohnmächtuge Schaier körnugen Euses un Streufen über due grünende Flir. Aber due Sonne dildet keun Weußes, Überall regt such Bulding ind Streben, Alles wull sue mut Farben beleben; Doch an Blimen fehlts um Revuer, Sue nummt gepitzte Menschen dafür. Kehre duch im, von duesen Höhen Nach der Stadt zirück zi sehen! Ais dem hohlen funstern Tor Drungt eun bintes Gewummel hervor. Jeder sonnt such heite so gern. Sue feuern due Aiferstehing des Herrn, Denn sue sund selber aiferstanden: Ais nuedruger Häiser dimpfen Gemächern, Ais Handwerks- ind Gewerbesbanden, Ais dem Drick von Guebeln ind Dächern, Ais der Straßen qietschender Enge, Ais der Kurchen ehrwürduger Nacht Sund sue alle ans Lucht gebracht. Sueh nir, sueh! wue behend such due Menge Dirch due Gärten ind Felder zerschlägt, Wue der Fliß un Breut ind Länge So manchen listugen Nachen bewegt, ind, bus zim Sunken überladen, Entfernt such dueser letzte Kahn. Selbst von des Berges fernen Pfaden Blunken ins farbuge Kleuder an. uch höre schon des Dorfs Getümmel, Huer ust des Volkes wahrer Hummel, Zifrueden jaichzet groß ind kleun: Huer bun uch Mensch, huer darf uchs seun! Goete (Allerdings sind z und e auch in Korea keine Nachbarschaftstasten.)

[left]: Segment from an illustration by Henry Holiday to Lewis Carroll's The Hunting of the Snark depicting the Broker (upper left corner). The object he is holding at his lips is the handle of a malacca walking cane, a gesture associated with dandies in the Victorian era. [right]: Segment from anonymous: Edward VI and the Pope , a Tudor anti-papal allegory of reformation (16th century). Holidays Snark illustrations are conundrums. And they were constructed as conundrums. The colored boxes are meant as a little help to you. There is not only a relation between the patterns marked by the same color, also the topological relation between the patterns on the left side and the right side show some similarity. The pattern in the orange frame on the lower left side clearly is an allusion to a rather unobtrusive pattern on the right side. This shows that Holiday did not "copy" patterns just because of they would contribute to the impressiveness of his illustrations. Holiday is not a plagiarist. · In 1922 (46 years after The Hunting of the Snark was published), Henry Holiday (the illustrator) wrote to George Sutcliffe (Sangorski & Sutcliffe, bookbinders, London): "... you will notice that the Broker in [the proof of the illustration to The Crew on Board ] no. 5 is quite different to the one in [ the later proof ] no. 2. I had intended to give a caricature a the vulgar specimen of the profession, but Lewis Carroll took exception to this and asked me to treat the head in a less aggressive manner, and no. 2 is the result. I consider that no. 5 has much more character, but I understood L. Carroll's objection and agreed to tone him down. ..." Charles Mitchel called the first design of the broker's face in the lower right corner of the print "conspiciously antisemitic". The change of the printing blocks must have been very important to Carroll, as it took the wood cutter Swain quite some effort to implement that change (see p. 102, Lewis Carroll's The Hunting of the Snark , 1981 William Kaufmann edition). As shown in the image above, the broker's face also appears in the upper left section of Holiday's illustration to The Hunting . Rather than by a "Semitic" face, Holiday may have been inspired by what could be a cliché of the face of a roman catholic monk depicted in the 16th century anti-papal painting Edward VI and the Pope . · Links: ※ www.reddit.com/r/museum/comments/4lrs3o/anonymous_king_edward_vi_and_the_pope_estimates ※ www.reddit.com/r/TheHuntingOfTheSnark/comments/3ul02u/the_brokers_and_the_monks_nose ※ www.academia.edu/9890076/The_Broker_and_the_Monk ※ www.facebook.com/snark150/posts/1647429028620386

However, Holiday's final allusion to this part of John Martin's painting is different - and funnier. As the for The Bard , the final Bellman comes closer to that figure than the drafted Bellman. === Literature === In mydailyartdisplay.wordpress.com/the-bard-by-john-martin , "Jonathan" connects the painting to the poem The Bard written by by Thomas Gray in 1755.

Allegorical English School painting (ca. 1610, redrawn in 2013) of Queen Elizabeth I at Old Age with allegory of Death and Father Time . (Location of original painting: Corsham Court, EAN-Number: 4050356835081) www.corsham-court.co.uk/Pictures/Commentary.html : "This portrait of Elizabeth I illustrates the difficulties she encountered during her troubled reign. For example, conflict between Protestants and Catholics was rife and the re-drafting of the Book of Common Prayer (held in her left hand) was a sensitive issue of the time."

I posted this image to a "Carrollian" Facebook group. It was pending for a day and then disappeared. Perhaps it was not approved because of my Germanic English. Or did someone spot the Boojum somewhere in this image? Actually, such Boojums do not live in pictures. They live in brains.

Plain Boojum

(Vectorized image from a 19th century book) Thanks to John Tufail (one of the few more curageous Snark hunters) for discovering the similarity to Henry Holiday's Boojum.
