My full answer to Vitaly Kupisk's first question appears on pages 221 to 226
of my NABOKOV'S ART OF MEMORY AND EUROPEAN MODERNISM. The brief answer
is T.S. Eliot's FOUR QUARTETS. The "Grimpen Mire" is the site where the
butterfly-collector/murderer in Doyle's THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES
hunts butterflies and eventually perishes.
