Don't look up Aubrey Beardsley! Don't Do It!

Lo and behold "my" borrowed prose and "my Lo's" notes.....

Students, Nabokovians, Sexsonians, let us wade these murky waters.

James Merrill's Literary Seances (Excuse the absence) relates to Pale Fire, whom, apparently, James-Mr. Merrill will be mentioning directly in his lecture. You really do not need to go to this 'meeting' of souls on Friday September 18 from 4 to 5:30 in room 34(2?)6 of Johnson Hall, but a blog entry would certainly twirl Sexson's beard.

Annotate A Page! Students! Non of us have yet to do this! Shame on us!

But since we already have the annotations that A.A. has given us go ahead and -"give yourself a gold star for being smart."(Sexson)

James and Kari, Take Good Notes Today.

We've wondered today throughout the memories of Lolita. For those of you who missed (as well as those of us that have been sent back through the semester in hopes of finding answers), We talked of an Old World reserved gentleman, in the "Freedom" of America. Brought over on a reward from his cousin that works in the perfume business, H.H. eventually finds himself coming to the town of Ramsdale via a man named McCoo! Unluckily for McCoo a fire happens, destroying H.H.'s plans. But "luckily" for him a generously "hideous" woman, a Ms. Haze, allows him a place to stay, at an oddly low price of room and board....? He does not wish to stay, odd enough to say, until he reaches the garden full of lilies and a little Lolilie(!) bent down playing around. His lolila. One Humbert Humberts' Lolita.

To put it in the words the words of Ms. Haze (Rest in Piece you troubled soul), " That was my Lo...and these are my lilies."


Students, Students, Students. My mind had wandered off somewhere in the lilies, but just belo' them i have the marking of a few quotes;

"What do you know folks, I just couldn't do it." Sexson quoting Humbert Humbert on his plans of clearing the Haze.

as well as the other;

"Watch A Night of the Hunter." Another Classic in true Lola fashion!

Now, You may not know this, but McFate is in Control- which reminds me of the possibility that some of you may recall a certain Odoyel Clan that asserts their own rule?

But Enough of That!

Now I'm only repeating this Shaman, so you do not have the right to drop me (physically or otherwise) whatsoever.

Nabokovians,

Do not Connect Aubrey (McFate) to the School (Beardsley) in which Lolila is put in by Horrible Humbert.

I Repeat!

Do not Google Aubrey Beardsley.

At the Sake of Sounding redundant,

DO NOT FIND OUT ALL YOU CAN ABOUT AUBREY BEARDSLEY!

Also,

Read the seduction scene carelessly, or else you won't be able to get off the page.


SEXSONIANS!

THE MIDTERM PAPER!

Start it now (and worry about it constantly). it is to be a minimum of 2-3 pages and must be an extremely focused paper!

Topic Ideas:

-Melmouth (H.H.'s car or an alliteration to Melmouth the Wanderer! a 1918 Gothic Novel)

-Sherly Holmes-(is she a dean or a detective?)

-Bluebeard-(it actually doesn't fit....)

-Dracula!

-All the Disney Princesses

"Do not forget about letters to Amanda"
a maximum of 3 sentence responses (For there are never ever answers) to her question:

"Why does he (Nabokov!) choose to write about a pedophile?"

Read Sam's Blog! (Just for Fun!)

I Grow tired and weary of these notes yet I'll press on I suppose.... for all the bars and the barmen......

"The Center Reading" is located at the top of page 283; find it, read it, learn it, love it.

Nabokovians, gentlemen and gentlelaides, lasses, and lads, and pregnant women too; Pay attention to Lolita playing tennis!-see the truth of H.H. sinking through!


QUESTIONS and STATEMENTS TO CONSIDER!

Morality and Style are the same. Ask Percy Shelly.

Sexson never uses answers only responses, feel the murky water.....

"What is the Artist's responsibility."

Nabokov wants to create a sense of Dejavu. Where's Your Dejavu? (If you've taken the subject matter of Lolita seriously, then you might as well waste your time taking this literally as well! Text Smiley Face of Excitement and Mirth!)
