“It is very sweet to me, to be loved by her as children love: though the experience of many years have now taught me that there are few things in the world so evanescent [fleeting] as a child’s love. Nine‑tenths of the children, whose love once seemed as warm as hers, are now merely on the terms of everyday acquaintance.”
Through the looking glass – carroll is said to have based the white knight on himself, ironically he is the only one to show compasion to alice in the story but must leave her when she reachers the eight square (ches game) as she will take her role as the queen. –this could be a methphor for the way carrol felt he is left behind by children as they grown up but who once loved him.
