EDITOR's NOTE. Sam Schuman <schumans@CAA.MRS.UMN.EDU>, VN-Shakespeare
expert (inter alia), is a founding father of the Vladimir Nabokov Society.

"I THINK I WAS BORN A PAINTER -- REALLY! -- AND UP TO MY FOURTEENTH YEAR,
PERHAPS, I USED TO SPEND MOST OF THE DAY DRAWING AND PAINTING AND I WAS
SUPPOSED TO BECOME A PAINTER IN DUE TIME" (STRONG OPINIONS, P. 17)

Appel quotes VN: I see in images, not words"

I wrote a little paper on this called "Nabokov's Eye" (nice title, that)
which I read at the NE-MLA some years ago.
