I had to laugh, this is so brilliant!
"And nearer to the lake, in summer, especially on Sundays, the place was infested with human bodies in various stages of nudity and solarization."
#Nabokov24 #SpeakMemory "I have to have all space and all time participate in my emotion, in my mortal love, so that the edge of its mortality is taken off..."
#Nabokov24 #SpeakMemory "Whenever I start thinking of my love for a person, I am in the habit of immediately drawing radii from my love -from my heart, from the tender nucleus of a personal matter- to monstrously remote points of the universe."
= I love you to the moon and back
#Nabokov24 #SpeakMemory Last day of the group read!
"...mechanically minded idiots are tinkering and tampering with forces of nature that mild mathematicians to their own secret surprise, appear to have foreshadowed."
Sounds eerily familiar with #ClimateChange

Find What the Sailor Has Hidden- that the finder cannot unsee once it has been seen.

Of course we all know what the Viennese Quack thought of the matter. We will leave him and his fellow travelers to jog on in their third-class carriage of thought.. incidentally what a great mistake on the part of dictators to ignore psychoanalysis

They are passing, posthaste, posthaste, the gliding years- to use a soul-rending Horatian inflection. The years are passing, my dear, and presently nobody will know what you and I know.

#Nabokov24 #SpeakMemory Opaque curtains separated me from blacked-out Paris. The headline of a newspaper drooping from the seat of a chair spoke of Hitlerโs striking at the Low Countries.
#Nabokov24 #SpeakMemory The day before, after months of soliciting and cursing, the emetic of a bribe had been administered to the right rat at the right office and had resulted finally in a visa de sortie which, in its turn, conditioned the permission to cross the Atlantic.
#Nabokov24 #SpeakMemory Love this! "(just as in a first-rate work of fiction the real clash is not between the characters but between the author and the world)"
#Nabokov24 #SpeakMemory I need to remember to use this simile in some way. "Not all the mystagogues were Dostoevskian Alyoshas; there were also a few Smerdyakovs in the group."
#Nabokov24 #SpeakMemory With a very few exceptions, all liberal-minded creative forcesโpoets, novelists, critics, historians, philosophers and so onโhad left Leninโs and Stalinโs Russia. Those who had not were either withering away there or adulterating their gifts by complying with the political demands of the state. What the Tsars had never been able to achieve, namely the complete curbing of minds to the governmentโs will, was achieved by the Bolsheviks in no time after the main contingent of the intellectuals had escaped abroad or had been destroyed.
#Nabokov24 #SpeakMemory Well, yes, the diluted part is key. It's that Nabokov's class was more cultured than anyone anywhere, not that Russians per se are. "In Berlin and Paris, the two capitals of exile, Russians formed compact colonies, with a coefficient of culture that greatly surpassed the cultural mean of the necessarily more diluted foreign communities among which they were placed."
#Nabokov24 #SpeakMemory Some things never change. "Somewhere at the back of their glands, the authorities secreted the notion that no matter how bad a stateโsay, Soviet Russiaโmight be, any fugitive from it was intrinsically despicable since he existed outside a national administration..."
Across the dark sky of exile, Sirin passed, to use a simile of a more conservative nature, like a meteor, and disappeared, leaving nothing much else behind him than a vague sense of uneasiness. Ch 14

(Sirin was Nโs pen name in exile)
"Chess problems demand from the composer the same virtues that characterize all worthwhile art: originality, invention, conciseness, harmony, complexity, and splendid insincerityโฆ Problems are the poetry of chess.โ #Nabokov24 ๐๐ฆ #SpeakMemory

About Marina Tsvetaeva: "...wife of a double agent, and poet of genius, who, in the late thirties, returned to Russia and perished there."
A colored spiral in a small ball of glass, this is how I see my own life.
