Dear List,

I was trying to figure out a special setting for a V.Nabokov quote but I
discovered that I no longer know how to use the plethora of programs now
offered by my computer. During my search through the archives I found a
message my granddaughter Juliana once sent and that I'd photographed.

Unfortunately I gave away my typing machines and cannot use this idea to
apply VN's words onto a new leaf thereby using words to destroy pollen or
texture - albeit recreating both by words and contextures... The only
resource left to me was to invite you to imagine a velvety living surface
that is both marred and restored by the lines

"And there are things that are hard to talk about - you'll rub off their
marvelous pollen at the touch of a word."

substituting the girlish text imprinted on the image I'm adding here...

Happy Birthday, Vladimir Nabokov.

Jansy Mello
