"The time has come," the Walrus said,"To talk of many things:
Of shoes - and ships - and sealing - wax -
Of cabbages - and kings -
And why the sea is boiling hot -
And whether pigs have wings."

"But wait a bit," the Oysters cried,"Before we have our chat;
For some of us are out of breath, And all of us are fat!"
"No hurry!" said the Carpenter.
They thanked him much for that.
(from "Through The Looking Glass", by Lewis Carroll)

“ Before I was born my mother was in great agony of spirit and in a tragic situation. She could take no food except iced oysters and champagne. If people ask me when I began to dance, I reply, ‘In my mothers womb, probably as a result of the oysters and champagne—the food of Aphrodite."
Isadora Duncan, American dancer (1878-1927).
