In Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass and whatAlice found there(http://www.Germany.EU.net/books/carroll/alice.html), in thechapter The Garden of Live Flowers(http://www.Germany.EU.net/books/carroll/alice_21.html#SEC24),the Red Queen is talking to Alice about what she's been up to:"I only wanted to see what the garden was like, your Majesty -""That's right," said the Queen, patting her on the head, which Alicedidn't like at all, "though, when you say "garden" - I've seengardens, compared with which this would be a wilderness."Alice didn't dare argue the point, but went on: "- and I thought I'dtry and find my way to the top of that hill -""When you say "hill"", the Queen interrupted, "I could show you hills,in comparison with which you'd call that a valley.""No, I shouldn't," said Alice, surprised into contradicting her atlast: "a hill can't be a valley, you know. That would be nonsense -"The Red Queen shook her head. "You may call it "nonsense" if youlike," she said, "but I've heard nonsense, compared with which thatwould be as sensible as a dictionary!"Alice curtseyed again, as she was a little afraid from the Queen'stone that she was a little offended: and they walked on in silencetill they got to the top of the little hill.Thanks to Simon James for the text and to Sean Gugler for theURLs.
