Hello, Miriam
I have found several references in LOLITA to " El Cid" ( Ronsard´s, I
suppose) but they are not easy to trace since sometimes there is a line from
El Cid in the middle of an apparently ordinary and unrelated sentence, or
the name of his Lady that appears almost disconnected from the rest of the
text.
I´ve also been wondering if one of the names for the marsh marigold which
has been was left out while at the same time VN offered lots of synonims for
them in ADA ( I mean: "Kingcup") could not be a pointer to any Grail myth.
