My name is Kalin Siegwald. For the past week I have been on a search
for a poem called "Laughter" (not "Laughter in the Dark"), by Nabokov.
I found this poem last year, and this year in my poetry class I have
been asked to select a poem which will be the subject of my next paper.
I would like to use this poem, but i have not been able to find it
anywhere. It is a poem that uses wonderful imagery about a bee
collapsing in laughter over the navel of a sunflower. If you know the
poem I am speaking of please let me know.

Thank you,
Kalin
