Claire, you know that chortle was a word that L.C. came up with? Nonsense words aren't usually complete nonsense, their point is the connotations, and this was originally one of these.

Hello,
I think more things obout The Jabberwocky, surely its a monster, perhaps a dragon (did you see Tenniel's Picture?), and the Hero (the son of the poem), as Beowulf,or as David, the King, goes to battle against it, although the monster can kill him. But by the reason he is a young hero, he kills the monster, and then he comes back to his mother, (the town, the country), and there he is received with great joy.

Hello,
Yesterday, I found a new page (www.brindin.com/parma/lamaloke.htm), were I saw a better Quenya version from the Jabberwocky Poem, than mine.
It is very interesting, because, also has an Anglo-Saxon translation.

If you read the author's comments on the poem, you would see that this poem has very little to do with symbols at all. Carroll meant it as literal that the child is being sent to slay the Jabberwock and at the end of his journey he returns to his home/village to be celebrated upon.

I'm from Argentina.
I have made my own Quenya translation from the Jabberwocky, and it is this one:
I YAMBERWOCI
Ne merdesinye ar i tiuce tover
Hwinyaner ar queraner mi i lúmelárar
Ilya lá alassa ner i Vorongover,
ar i máro laice huor yaiwehuestaner.
"A aista i Yamberwoc, hinya!
I nangwar mi i nacar, i raccar mi i narciar!
A aista i lindo Yumbyumb, ar halyat
Mennai i ahao mi i Vanderesnac!"
Erye atsane i Vorpal hyandorye mí má
Linlúme i manxome mahtar erye roitane
Sin erye hautane mí i Tumtum aldallo
Ar erye ne asar mi erye ósanwe.
Ar, sin mi rempa ósanwe erye ne,
I Yamberwoc, mi hendu náreo,
Tulane huestie tere i Tulcei taure,
Ar langane sin i erye tulane!
Mine, atta! Mine, atta! Ar tere ter
I Vorpal russe tulane sinome-taname!
Erye lembanat qualin, ar axane erya cár
Erye vanyane ata mi i roccorye.
"Ar erye carnes fir i Yamberwoc?
A tul ana inya rancor, anaro selde!
A! Merya aure! Ancale, Calima!"
Erye na mi i erya alasse.
Ne merdesinye ar i tiuce tover
Hwinyaner ar queraner mi i lúmelárar:
Ilya lá alassa ner i Yamberwoc,
Ar i máro laice huor yaiwehuestaner.
Many Greetings

My own thoght. Is it is all about life. In the Line"Beware the Jabberwocky,my son" This is a father trying to prepare his chid for what layed ahead in the world.He want to prepare is son for the choices that are all around us.We also,sometimes do not come away unscathed form our choices. But, when we return home all is forgiven by family and friends. Let me know your thought also. Joey Richardson

Lewis Caroll also known as Charles Dodgson wrote this poem for Through the Looking Glass. I don't know if it's been called anything else bar Jabberwocky though.
I love this poem for the way it sounds spoken, I find myself remembering odd lines at weird times and say them just to hear it: All mimsey were the borograves and the mome raths outgrabe. Yay.
Not all the words are nonsense words, Gyre for example is often used in poetry and means to turn in a circular manner and Chortle is used exactly how it is in the poem.
This is a poem I recommend.
