"To quote an old poet:
The moral sense in mortals is the duty
We have to pay on mortal sense of beauty." (Lolita, Part II, 31)
In the Russian version Humbert doubts the existence of the "old poet:"
"Закончу эту главку цитатой из старого и едва ли существовавшего поэта:
Так пошлиною нравственности ты
Обложено в нас, чувство красоты!"
Alexey Sklyarenko
