“Gradually I regained my usual composure. I reread Pale Fire more carefully. I liked it better when expecting less. And what was that?

Here and there I discovered in it and especially, especially in the invaluable variants, echoes and spangles of my mind, a long ripplewake of my glory.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
