Vladimir Nabokov Quotes

They Are Beautiful, Heart-rendingly Beautiful, Those Wilds, With A Quality Of Wide-eyed, Unsung, Innocent Surrender That My Lacquered, Toy-bright Swiss Villages And Exhaustively Lauded Alps No Longer Possess. Innumerable Lovers Have Clipped And Kissed On The Trim Turf Of Old-world Mountainsides, On The Innerspring Moss, By A Handy, Hygienic Rill, On Rustic Benches Under The Initialed Oaks, And In So Many Cabanes In So So Many Beech Forests. But In The Wilds Of America The Open-air Lover Will Not Find It Easy To Indulge In The Most Ancient Of All Crimes And Pastimes. Poisonous Plants Burn His Sweetheart's Buttocks, Nameless Insects Sting His; Sharp Items Of The Forest Floor Prick His Knees, Insects Hers; And All Around There Abides A Sustained Rustle Of Potential Snakes
que Dis-je,of Semi-extinct Dragons!
while The Crablike Seeds Of Ferocious Flowers Cling, In A Hideous Green Crust, To Gartered Black Sock And Sloppy White Sock Alike.
