EDNOTE. Much of Nabokov's Russian and some of his English work is available
on-line. I quick "Search & Find" operation for "winter", "snow," etc will
provide a lot of data. I wonder if the 1994 article you mention is mine? It
appeared in THE NABOKOVIAN #32:17-19 (Spring 1994). It refers to the poem
you asked about. It appeared in VN's first book of poetry in 1916. There is
no English version so far as I know but the Russian may be included in the
new VN poetry volume edited by Masha Malikova.
