Re Dr.Fet's observations on Dodgson/LC
 
Which reminds me that Francis Huxley, following a family tradition, wrote a book- length study of the problem, 'The Raven and the Desk,' Thames & Hudson 1976, close study of which affords one many a salutary caution against over-reading what authors, especially brilliant ones, write, as if every divined association a sequence of words may conjure up were necessarily part and parcel of authorial intentions, and not,  in good part, simply the ingenious outcome of ingenuous obsessions on the part of the reader.
