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
!"
