Mary Ross>>> Although Nabokov has stated that he didn't care for
anything "oriental", this is a clear description of kundalini <<<
[ Everything (all life) is interconnected ] is (also)
a central teaching of Buddhism.
I forgot to mention that [fountain] and [mountain] are clearly sexual

Your full attention.
I can't tell you how I knew--but Idid know that I had crossed
700
The border. Everything I loved was lost
But no aorta could report regret. <---------- like, [could not
respond (with regrets) to an

[Give me now Your full attention.] surprised me,
because this is straight out of EO (Onegin).
Johnston's I.29 is closer to it than VN's or Arndt's :
XXIX
In days of carefree aspirations,
the ballroom drove me off my head:
the safest place for declarations,
and where most surely notes are sped.
You husbands, deeply I respect you!
I'm at your service to protect you;
now pay attention, I beseech, <--------------------------
and take due warning from my speech.
You too, mamas, I pray attend it,
and watch your daughters closer yet,
yes, focus on them your lorgnette,
or else... or else, may God forfend it!
I only write like this, you know,
since I stopped sinning years ago.
