Vicomte de Chagny
Does anyone miss Vicomte de Chagny? Things just don't seem the same without him. I think no one can ever replace him, but I'm planning to invite Eleanor Roosevelt, Gertrude Stein, Richard Strauss, Alexander Pope of course, and others. I think they should help us establish the climate we're looking for. My plan is to keep inviting people until we get a more established base line here. I am thinking that I may have to keep inviting such people until we have a secure foundation. If necessary, I'm thinking that I might invite Frances Bacon, Epictitus, and I'm sure I can continue to find people to invite. Things will turn out fine, I'm thinking. In the mean time, I hope you stick around and post and have a good time until These invisible people begin to participate. Good luck to us. I think I shall ever and always miss Vicomte de Chagny, however. He will be irreplaceable.

Inasmuch as he appears not to be forgotten, how can he possibly be gone? And as long as you are inviting, do NOT forget this author!
`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
`Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!'
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.
And as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
`And has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!
He chortled in his joy.
`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
