PART
TWO
A Symposium
on
the Metaphysical History of "Time"
"Have you guessed the riddle yet?" the
Hatter said, turning to Alice again. "
Why is a raven like a writing
desk?"
"No, I give it up," Alice replied. "Whats
the answer?"
"I havent the slightest idea," said the Hatter.
"Nor I," said the March Hare.
Alice sighed wearily. "I think you might do something
better with the time," she said, "than wasting it in asking riddles
that have no answers."
"If you knew Time as well as I do," said the Hatter,
"you wouldnt talk about wasting it. Its him!.... I dare
say you never even spoke to Time !"
"Perhaps not," Alice cautiously replied: "but
I have to beat time when I learn music."
"Ah! That accounts for it!" said the Hatter. "He
wont stand beating !"
