[NABOKOV-L] Aunt Maud's Index
From
Date
Body
I was intrigued about Aunt Maud's book of verse and its Index.
I considered that it might refer to an Index of First Lines and the book, an Anthology.
Google-search suggested to me two possible editions: The Oxford Book of English Verse; Harvard's Classics
Here is a sample:
MOON
William Wordsworth, To the Moon (on the coast of cumberland )
THE Crescent-moon, the Star of Love,
Robert Graves (1895-1985). Fairies and Fusiliers. 1918. The Cruel Moon
THE CRUEL Moon hangs out of reach
Carl Sandburg. Cornhuskers
THE BABY moon, a canoe, a silver papoose canoe, sails and sails in the Indian west.

Had blended with the lights of eve;

O RUDDIER than the cherry!
O sweeter than the berry!
O nymph more bright
Than moonshine night,
Like kidlings blithe and merry! 5

Fur 'z you can look or listen,

All silence an' all glisten.

To thy rack'd heart and brain

Determined, lies beyond the State's embrace,
