In the Lion's Mouth

O frabjous day!  Callooh!  Callay! 

The frumious Bandersnatch is slain!

It now remains to dress the carcass.


One man with a dream, at pleasure, 
Shall go forth and conquer a crown; 
And three with a new song’s measure 
Can trample an empire down.

 – Arthur O’Shaughnessy (1844-1881), “We Are the Music Makers”
