The afterword ("On a book entitled Lolita") includes the following just
before the "nerves of the novel":
"I have not re-read /Lolita/ since I went through the proofs in the
winter of 1954 but I find it to be a delightful presence now that it
quietly hangs about the house like a summer day which one knows to be
bright behind the haze."
Not exactly what you were after, I know.
