Re: Despair, we should also remember that the final entry is dated April 1 (harkening back to the passage SES quotes). Likewise, I recall VN making special mention of Gogol being born on April 1.

Subject: [NABOKV-L] Welcome back to foolish April

Dear List,

Doughty or not, here I come! I've missed you, and it's nice to be back. And thanks to stalwart Stephen for his stewardship for the past three months!

Regarding April Fool's, Sandy Dreschler writes:
April 1 is a setting in "Mary"

And I hasten to remind everyone of these lines from Despair:
No, I have not gone mad. I am merely producing gleeful little sounds. The kind of glee one experiences upon making an April fool of someone. And a damned good fool I have made of someone. Who is he? Gentle reader, look at yourself in the mirror, as you seem to like mirrors so much.
