DRAWLING, STRETCHING, AND FAINTING IN COILS

DRAWLING, STRETCHING, AND FAINTING IN COILS: What is taught in Wonderland Art classes (instead of the Earth disciplines drawing, sketching, and painting in oils).
Last Friday I did some homework that included translating the Carroll fragment containing these puns into Spanish. I did it rather skilfully, but I wonder if Carroll is tossing and turning in his grave.
After all, he is one of those authors who employ puns ad nauseam. There is hardly a pun-free chapter in Alice, making it, in my humble opinion, the children's literary translator's Waterloo.
And knowing what my future profession will be, I look forward to doing my own Alice someday.
