More From Vladimir Nabokov

For him it was a dark passage which led to nowhere, then to nowhere, then again to nowhere, once again to nowhere, always and forever to nowhere, heavy on the elbows in the earth to nowhere, dark, never any end to nowhere, hung on all time always to unknowing nowhere, this time and again for always to nowhere, now not to be borne once again always and to nowhere, now beyond all bearing up, up, up and into nowhere, suddenly, scaldingly, holdingly all nowhere gone and time absolutely still and they were both there, time having stopped and he felt the earth move out and away from under them.

She smiled. she knew she was dying. but it did not matter any longer. she had known something which no human words could ever tell and she knew it now. she had been awaiting it and she felt it, as if it had been, as if she had lived it. life had been, if only because she had known it could be, and she felt it now as a hymn without sound, deep under the little whole that dripped red drops into the snow, deeper than that from which the red drops came. a moment or an eternity- did it matter? life, undefeated, existed and could exist. she smiled, her last smile, to so much that had been possible.

Just me, just me sweet marie, she loves just me (she also loves maurice mcghee). no she don't, she loves just me (she also loves louise dupree). no she don't, she loves just me (she also loves the willow tree). no she don't, she loves just me! (poor, poor fool, why can't you see she can love others and still love thee.)

He began to trace a pattern on the table with the nail of his thumb. "she kept saying she wanted to keep things exactly the way they were, and that she wished she could stop everything from changing. she got really nervous, like, talking about the future. she once told me that she could see herself now, and she could also see the kind of life she wanted to have - kids, husband, suburbs, you know - but she couldn't figure out how to get from point a to point b.

Next out of the hall came the sisters and their husbands. before i could say anything, the captain had clamped his hand over my mouth and was lifting me off my feet as i kicked. cornwall made as to draw his dagger, but regan pulled him away. "you've just won a kingdom, my duke, killing vermin is a servant's task. leave the bitter fool stew in his own bile." she wanted me. it was clear.

Personally, i can't see why it would be any less romantic to find a husband in a nice four-color catalogue than in the average downtown bar at happy hour.
