I could listen to a ______brook
And here a song, that I could understand.

6. Read the comments by Marc Edmund Jones for Chapter I and
say what you think about it.
The first great principle of wisdom in the Sabian philosophy as
revealed through the adventures of Alice is that everything in life is a
sacrament.
Here for instance is the item of occult catalysis or coincidence
of inspiration in the fact that the eldest Liddell child is named Alice, a
Greek word meaning truth, because the bearing of the name by the
youngster indicates to the occult student the outer indication of her
possession of these catalytic qualities.
The achievement of imagination in the book, or the first great
scientific anticipation, is in the proper employment of symbolism. The
function of symbols is to give form to spiritual concept. Carroll here
unwittingly anticipated the dictum recently popularized by modern
science as anything that man imagines he may achieve.
Chapter II. THE POOL OF TEARS
1. Find the following words in the text, say who felt like this and
in what situation. Give a number of synonyms of these word-
combinations. What can cause you to feel like this?
• To be ashamed
• Savage
• To feel desperate
• To cry with a sudden burst of tears
• To be surprised
