….pin me, girl, make me your butterfly…the line of a lifetime, a man’s dream. The whole piece so evocative, I doubt any man could surpass the truth, the intimacy of this.

Well, I have to stop by and say this is fantastic. I have been reading Letters to Vera, a compilation of Nabokov’s love letters to his wife spanning 50 years. It’s amazing. And you captured his (and her) fascination with butterflies. Love this to bits. 🙂

I really appreciate you taking the time to leave this wonderful comment, Emily. He really was a fascinating chap, wasn’t he? I think I’ll have to check out that compilation for myself as I’d never heard of it before. 😀

It’s an amazing compilation. You can Kindle it if desired. Be sure to read the prologue/forward as it describes a bit more in detail their lives and relationship and helps place the letters and poems in the proper context. His prose is incomparable…in Lolita as well. 😊 And you can call me Em.

Tony, if this isn’t the best “love note” I have ever read, I don’t know what is… I loved these lines:
“hope krills ablaze across my sky
in a million of your freckly stars
thaw my moth-eaten skin, won’t you
never let me peel away from your flare
arc me into your tender fire patch”
Look at you flaunting your feminity in all its masculinity. I LOVE IT!

“Flaunting your femininity in all its masculinity.” Now, that’s a phrase I thought I’d never read but, by god, you’ve said it and now I wanna own it. That is one of the nicest things anybody has ever said about my writing! I’m so glad you enjoyed this. 😀

Enticing language, and I love the invitation at the end.

Thank you, Oloriel. I had initial concerns that the invitation would read as a little too forceful, but I think it actually reads as intimate instead which is what I had always intended. So glad this resonated with you! 😀

It’s not just on your blog, some but not all of the ones I follow have a list of related reading too. The first one is another post by that blog, then 2 from other blogs.
