You're just not trying hard enough. I get a lot from those Lewis Carrol lines you quoted. It's quite evident (in a general sense) what he is talking about.

You are probably also confounded by,

"The motorcycle black madonna two-wheeled gypsy queen and her silver studded phantom cause the grey flannel dwarf to scream, as he weeps to wicked birds of prey who pick up on his bread crumb sins, and there are no sins inside the Gates of Eden"

................. aren't you?
