Quote 52 of 55

From Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and Through the Looking Glass, by Lewis Carroll

"Is it very long?" Alice asked, for she had heard a good deal of
poetry that day.
"It's long," said the Knight, "but it's very, _very_ beautiful.
Everybody that hears me sing it---either it brings the _tears_ into
their eyes, or else---"
"Or else what?" said Alice, for the Knight had made a sudden pause.
"Or else it doesn't, you know..."
		-- Through the Looking-Glass
		   Chapter viii
