Boris Zakhoder, in his translation of _Alice_, out-Nabokoved Nabokov by
playing on eight poems in his rendition of "You Are Old, Father
William."
I wonder if Professor Priestly would be willing to post to the list
a compilation of the the variants of "Chizhik" that he received -- as a
contribution to Slavic folkloristics.
