Dear List,

Once again, we will celebrate the anniversary of VN's birth--116 years ago this year--with greetings, toasts, jokes, parodies, homages, and Nabokoviana.

This year, in particular, I invite you to submit a Nabokovian sentence of your own design, on a topic of your choice, in 35 words or less.

Please send your offerings to N-L with "BIRTHDAY" in the subject heading, and I'll save them up and send them out next weekend, beginning with the evening of April 23.  Many happy returns!

:) SES

                After his run B., pleasantly winded, sat down head down on the bench opposite the bird feeder;
                before long he sensed a persistent throbbing -- a humming bird wings fanned threatened
               in the blinding sun.
