The Hunting of the Snark by Lewis Carrol (1874)  

Length: 291-307 in the Oxford Book of Narrative Verse.  

Genre: Nonsense Lyric Poem in a form of an adventure.

 Non Spoiler Summary

This story is a nod to all that travel is, where it is more fun to get lost than to stick to the route.  A blank map leads our way.

The hapless souls out at sea are searching for the snark and avoiding the Jubjub and Boojum that would mark certain discourteous disaster. Will they or will they not find their antediluvian Snark?

Ghosts surround us, we are besieged by the Ghosts of Past, Future, and even the Present.  The poem Ghost of a Night by Charles Liepsig celebrates a haven for Ghosts who need a place away from the stormy night.

Quote from the Poem:

This borderland has fences
made of psychic razor wire.
