Through the Looking-Glass
and what Alice found there

Kapitel 6:
Humpty Dumpty, Lewis Carroll, Seite 7 ( von 7 )

"I shouldn't know you again if we did meet," Humpty Dumpty replied in a discontented tone, giving her one of his fingers to shake; "you're so exactly like other people."
"The face is what one goes by, generally," Alice remarked in a thoughtful tone.
"That's just what I complain of," said Humpty Dumpty. "Your face is the same as everybody has - the two eyes, so -" (marking their places in the air with his thumb) "nose in the middle, mouth under. It's always the same. Now if you had the two eyes on the same side of the nose, for instance - or the mouth at the top - that would be some help."
"It wouldn't look nice," Alice objected. But Humpty Dumpty only shut his eyes and said "Wait till you've tried."
Alice waited a minute to see if he would speak again, but as he never opened his eyes or took any further notice of her, she said "Good-bye!" once more, and, getting no answer to this, she quietly walked away: but she couldn't help saying to herself as she went, "Of all the unsatisfactory -" (she repeated this aloud, as it was a great comfort to have such a long word to say) "of all the unsatisfactory people I ever met -" She never finished the sentence, for at this moment a heavy crash shook the forest from end to end.
