Feeding the Mind
The history of this little sparkle from the pen of Lewis Carroll may soon be told. It was in October of the year 1884 that he came on a vis-it to a certain vicarage in Derbyshire, where he had promised, on the score of friendship, to do what was for him a most unusual favour-to give a lecture before a public audience.The writer well remembers his nervous, highly-strung manner as he stood before the little room full of simple people, few of whom had any idea of the world-wide reputation of that shy, slight figure before them.When the lecture was over, he handed the manuscript to me, saying: 'Do what you like with it.'The one for whose sake he did this kindness was not long after called„Into the Silent Land.‟
