Happy Birthday, Mr Dodgson
Today is the birthday of a rather famous author...

I can't put it more clearly than this blog did on Jan 23 last year

quote:
January 27th, 1832 is the birthday of Charles Dodgson, who passed away January 14th, 1898. The former preceded the latter, as befits an Eminent Victorian. Coincidentally, the English poet and author Lewis Carroll also died on the 14th, last Monday, 13 days before his birthday on the 27th, next Sunday.

"Twas nonsense with the 24,
a word play from the noggin,
Almost like one message more --
Und der mome raths outgraben."
