Sylvie and Bruno Concluded

by Lewis Carroll
Dreams, that elude the Maker’s frenzied grasp--
Hands, stark and still, on a dead Mother’s breast,
Which nevermore shall render clasp for clasp,
Or deftly soothe a weeping Child to rest--
In suchlike forms me listeth to portray
My Tale, here ended. Thou delicious Fay--
The guardian of a Sprite that lives to tease thee--
Loving in earnest, chiding but in play
The merry mocking Bruno! Who, that sees thee,
Can fail to love thee, Darling, even as I?--
My sweetest Sylvie, we must say “Good-bye!”

“Nasty?” said the Professor. “Why of course it is! What would Medicine be, if it wasn’t nasty?”

“Nice,” said Bruno.
