I only meant the title and lyrics! not the actual music. I don't believe that Harrison wrote it without any input from the others. I prefer Yoko Ono anyway.

Jerome, atom predates Shakespeare, actually, but I have never seen an earlier example than Carroll's, and it wasn't, to my knowledge, commonly used. It comes from the Greek (a- "not" + tomos "cut").

Bill, I don't know, I think Carroll's presence on the cover and the similarities between "without you, within you" and "within him, without him" are enough. All of Lennon's Carrollesque songs are on other albums.
