spilling crimson says..... Lastly, she pictured to herself how this same little sister of hers would, in the
after-time, be herself a grown woman; and how she would keep, through all her
riper years, the simple and loving heart of her childhood; and how she would gather
about her other little children, and make their eyes bright and eager with many a
strange tale, perhaps even with the dream of Wonderland of long ago; and how
she would feel with all their simple sorrows, and find a pleasure in all their simple
joys, remembering her own child-life, and the happy summer days. –Lewis Carroll,
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865)
