Snark-hunting implements, an illustration by John Vernon Lord in Lewis Carroll's
The Hunting of the Snark, Artists' Choice Editions, 2006.
The Text:

"
'You may seek it with thimbles--and seek it with care;
You may hunt it with forks and hope;
You may threaten its life with a
railway-share;
You may charm it with smiles and soap--'
"

("That's
exactly the method," the Bellman bold
In a hasty parenthesis cried,
"That's exactly the way I have always
been told
That the capture of Snarks should be
tried!")
