I meant the poem itself which is situated between forward and commentary. After all, the poem written by Shade is sandwiched between Kinbote’s parts, one before, two after. As for Kinbote’s assertions I did not rely on it – just on my artistic sense. And until a better “round the corner” line is found I’ll stick with the first. In chess sometimes simple moves win the game.
