Solfjädrarna i mitt liv

  

 

jag kan hitta någon bild där ”the White Rabbit” är avbildad med en solfjäder, här har John Tenniel bara utrustat honom med sitt fickur och ett paraply — kanske skymtar man handskarna i fickan.

Klimakteriehäxans solfjädersprat har fått mig att fundera kring solfjädrarna i mitt liv. Jag inser snart att jag inte har samma ordning på mina prylar som Klimakteriehäxan, några få vet jag var jag har, men för övrigt vet jag inte ens var jag ska börja titta efter dem. 

Däremot finns många i mitt medvetande — till exempel ”the White Rabbits” solfjäder:

After a time she heard a little pattering of feet in the distance, and she hastily dried her eyes to see what was coming. It was the White Rabbit returning, splendidly dressed, with a pair of white kid gloves in one hand and a large fan in the other: he came trotting along in a great hurry, muttering to himself as he came, 'Oh! the Duchess, the Duchess! Oh! won't she be savage if I've kept her waiting!' Alice felt so desperate that she was ready to ask help of any one; so, when the Rabbit came near her, she began, in a low, timid voice, 'If you please, sir--' The Rabbit started violently, dropped the white kid gloves and the fan, and skurried away into the darkness as hard as he could go.

Alice took up the fan and gloves, and, as the hall was very hot, she kept fanning herself all the time she went on talking: 'Dear, dear! How queer everything is to-day! And yesterday things went on just as usual. I wonder if I've been changed in the night? Let me think: was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I'm not the same, the next question is, Who in the world am I? Ah, that's the great puzzle!' And she began thinking over all the children she knew that were of the same age as herself, to see if she could have been changed for any of them.

Jag vet att jag funderat över vart solfjädern tog vägen, men minns inte om det står något om den saken, jag får nog läsa om ”Alice's Adventures In Wonderland ”.
