Well, Jorge, pc, is this a better target than Alice? %^)

Well, I don't have the same protective instincts about these, but, even so,
the task of fitting Lojban to preset rhythmic pattern while keeping the sense
seems formidable:
doi kamgekrais poi tixnu la .elisium do'u mi'a fagyfenki nerbi'o ledo
cesyskani ka censa (from memory and in a rush) don't fit.
But Cherlin is proposing working over more Dodgson. so I'm willing that
someone atttack Schiller instead.
