Here is my personal tribute to Mr Nabokov in transliteration (my
Cyrillic font layout got mixed up).


***

Kakaya divnaya zagadka
V ego vozvyshennyh listah
Kogda ne holodno, ne sladko
Vdrug taet roza na ustah

Rastyot prichudlivaya vetka
Eyo shipy poprobui tron'
To zavorozhit kak nimfetka
To bledny opalit ogon'!
