[EDNOTE. Another birthday tidbit from Jansy Mello. -- SES.]
When I first read Nabokov's words, during an interview for his 72nd Birthday, I thought it would be fit to bring them back to the List while we're celebrating this date. By chance, I found another homage in Alfred Appel's annotations to "Lolita" (p.328), this time for his Seventieth birthday. Perhaps we can build up a collection in time...
"To Vladimir Nabokov on His Seventieth Birthday"
Anthony Burgess
That nymphet's beauty lay less on her bones
Than in her name's proclaimed two allophones.
A boned veracity slow to be found
In all the channels of recorded sound."
TriQuarterly n.17, Winter 1970
