noun
O mother, mother love is blind,
And all the world’s a wonderland,
And in the garden of your mind, I see the light of God’s own hand. - poem by Robert Louis Stevenson 1. a place that excites admiration Today the traveler on the Nile enters a wonderland at whose gates rise the colossal pyramids of which he has had visions perhaps from earliest childhood. - James Henry Breasted (1865 - 1935) 2. an imaginary place of delicate beauty or magical charm For me, science is already fantastical enough...unlocking the secrets of nature with fundamental physics or cosmology or astrobiology leads you into a wonderland compared with which beliefs in things like alien abductions pale into insignificance. - Paul Davies (1946 - )
