Phantasmagoria and Other Poems is a splendid collection of poems written by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, pen named Lewis Carroll. It was Carroll's longest poem published in 1869, divided into seven Cantons, illustrated by A. B. Frost. Carroll has written a supernatural amazing poem, in his narrative he shows interaction between Phantom ( a ghost) and a man Tibbets. Author expresses that on a winter night while he returned home he felt surprising presence of someone else that was a white, wavy gloomy appearance of a ghost. Carroll says ghosts are not unlike humans. Like humans they follow hierarchy, do jobs to haunt. They live in society and follow the social rules, violation means sufferings. As men fear to dark they also fear. They live in gloomy and dark environment and they fear from light. In the end, ghost realized he came in wrong house, so he left in a friendly way shaking hands. Some other pleasing and appreciating poems are-The Sea Dirge, A Game of Fives, Poeta Fit, Non Nascitur, Fame's Funny Trumpet, Hiawatha's Photographing, A Valentine, Hunting of the Snark etc.

Phantasmagoria and Other Poems By Lewis Carroll One winter night, at half-past nine, Cold, tired, and cross, and muddy, I had come home, too late to dine, And supper, with cigars and wine, Was waiting in the study. There was a strangeness in the room, And Something white and wavy Was standing near me in the gloom -- I took it for the carpet-broom Left by that careless slavey. But presently the Thing began To shiver and to sneeze: On which I said "Come, come, my man! That's a most inconsiderate plan. Less noise there, if you please!" "I've caught a cold," the Thing replies, "Out there upon the landing." I turned to look in some surprise, And there, before my very eyes, A little Ghost was standing! Lewis Carroll was the pseudonym of Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, a lecturer in mathematics at Oxford, who lived from 1832 to 1898. Carroll lived with physical deformities, partial deafness, and an irrepressible tamer. His unusual appearance caused him to behave awkwardly around other adults, and his students at Oxford saw him as a stuffy and boring teacher. He held strict religious beliefs, serving as a deacon in the Anglican Church for many years. Beneath Carroll's awkward exterior, however, dwelled a brilliant and imaginative artist. A gifted amateur photographer, he took numerous portraits of children throughout his adulthood. Carroll's keen grasp of mathematics and logic inspired the linguistic humor and witty wordplay in his stories. Additionally, his unique understanding of children's minds allowed him to compose imaginative fiction that appealed to young people.

"Phantasmagoria" is a poem written by Lewis Carroll and first published in 1869 as the opening poem of a collection of verse by Carroll entitled Phantasmagoria and Other Poems. The collection was also published under the name Rhyme? And Reason? It is Lewis Carroll's longest poem. Both the poem and the collection were illustrated by A.B. Frost."Phantasmagoria" is a narrative discussion written in seven cantos between a ghost (a Phantom) and a man named Tibbets. Carroll portrays the ghost as not so different from human beings: although ghosts may jibber and jangle their chains, they, like us, simply have a job to do and that job is to haunt. Just as in our society, in ghost society there is a hierarchy, and ghosts are answerable to the King (who must be addressed as "Your Royal Whiteness") if they disregard the "Maxims of Behaviour".

Phantasmagoria is a narrative discussion written in seven cantos between a ghost (a Phantom) and a man named Tibbets. Carroll portrays the ghost as not so different from human beings. They may gibber and jangle their chains, but they, like us, simply have a job to do and that job is to haunt. Just as in our society, in ghost society there is a hierarchy and ghosts (for there are different orders of ghosts, he tells the narrator) are answerable to the King who must be addressed as "Your Royal Whiteness."One winter night, at half-past nine, Cold, tired, and cross, and muddy, I had come home, too late to dine, And supper, with cigars and wine, Was waiting in the study. There was a strangeness in the room, And Something white and wavy Was standing near me in the gloom -"MY First-but don't suppose," he said,"I'm setting you a riddle-Is-if your Victim be in bed, Don't touch the curtains at his head, But take them in the middle,"And wave them slowly in and out, While drawing them asunder;And in a minute's time, no doubt, He'll raise his head and look aboutWith eyes of wrath and wonder."And here you must on no pretenceMake the first observation.Wait for the Victim to commence: No Ghost of any common senseBegins a conversation."If he should say 'How came you here?'(The way that you began, Sir, )In such a case your course is clear-'On the bat's back, my little dear!'Is the appropriate answer."If after this he says no more, You'd best perhaps curtail yourExertions-go and shake the door, And then, if he begins to snore, You'll know the thing's a failure."By day, if he should be alone-At home or on a walk-You merely give a hollow groan, To indicate the kind of toneIn which you mean to talk."But if you find him with his friends, The thing is rather harder.In such a case success dependsOn picking up some candle-ends, Or butter, in the larder."With this you make a kind of slide(It answers best with suet), On which you must contrive to glide, And swing yourself from side to side-One soon learns how to do it."The Second tells us what is rightIn ceremonious calls: -'First burn a blue or crimson light'(A thing I quite forgot to-night), 'Then scratch the door or walls.'"I said "You'll visit here no more, If you attempt the Guy.I'll have no bonfires on my floor-And, as for scratching at the door, I'd like to see you try!""The Third was written to protectThe interests of the Victim, And tells us, as I recollect, To treat him with a grave respect, And not to contradict him.""That's plain," said I, "as Tare and Tret, To any comprehension: I only wish some Ghosts I've metWould not so constantly forgetThe maxim that you mention!""Perhaps," he said, "you first transgressedThe laws of hospitality: All Ghosts instinctively detestThe Man that fails to treat his guestWith proper cordiality."If you address a Ghost as 'Thing!'Or strike him with a hatchet, He is permitted by the KingTo drop all formal parleying-And then you're sure to catch it!"The Fourth prohibits trespassingWhere other Ghosts are quartered: And those convicted of the thing(Unless when pardoned by the King)Must instantly be slaughtered."That simply means 'be cut up small': Ghosts soon unite anew.The process scarcely hurts at all-Not more than when you 're what you call'Cut up' by a Review."The Fifth is one you may preferThat I should quote entire: -The King must be addressed as 'Sir.'This, from a simple courtier, Is all the Laws require: "But, should you wish to do the thingWith out-and-out politeness, Accost him as 'My Goblin King!And always use, in answering, The phrase 'Your Royal Whiteness!'"I'm getting rather hoarse, I fear, After so much reciting: So, if you don't object, my dear, We'll try a glass of bitt
