In the most recent NYRB (May 6), Garry Wills cites VN in his article
"Augustine's Magical Decade":

"Vladimir Nabokov had obviously been reading Augustine when he made
Humbert Humbert describe his own self-awareness as 'a continuous spanning
[distentio] of two points (the storable future and the stored past).'"
