RE: Spam: Query: Lolita and Keats-Bailey correspondence?Dear Andrew,

You observed that we went "from a Keats question to a Wordsworth answer" but
wasn´t Wordsworth´s Ode also about loss?
"...That though the radiance which was once so bright be now forever taken from
my sight./
Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, glory in the
flower/ We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind."...
Jansy

Jansy,

I just now realized that our discussion, at least my share, has wheeled around
back into the Romantic poets. From a Keats question to a Wordsworth answer.
And
now I wonder if VN could actually have intended a closer look at Keats/Bailey
than I thought at first. Is there a Proustian mnemosynian, or maybe
paramnesian, intonation in the romantic poet's concern with memory? My Keats
letters are at home.
