Jansy Mello cites VN in connection with nail-paring and Pale Fire:
'Actually, I never liked "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man". I find
it a feeble and garrulous book. The phrase you quote is an unpleasant
coincidence."
Odd, then, that he should employ the word 'garrulous': the French for
'waxwing' is 'jaseur'.
Best wishes, Penny McC.
