The Russians
I stole this quote from Jeremy Denk. It's by Vladimir...I'm drawing a blank, here, he wrote "Pale Fire", a delightfully whacko novel......Nabokov!
In a sense, we all are crashing to our death from the top story of our birth to the flat stones of the churchyard and wondering with an immortal Alice in Wonderland at the patterns of the passing wall. This capacity to wonder at trifles--no matter the imminent peril--these asides of the spirit, these footnotes in the volume of life are the highest forms of consciousness, and it is in this childishly speculative state of mind, so different from commonsense and its logic, that we know the world to be good.
One could, with a good microscope, spend the rest of one's life studying a spoonful of dirt. The examination of Martian soils or Moon soils is important precisely because there is so little happening there that there is at least some possibility of making sense of it.

Vladimir Nabokov you say? Good quote, and good prose, and good steal, sir:
Pale Fire (1962) is a novel by Vladimir Nabokov, his fourteenth and his fifth written in English. The Nabokov authority Brian Boyd has called it "Nabokov's most perfect novel".[1] It has drawn a great deal of critical attention, with commentators offering a wide variety of interpretations.
At first glance, Pale Fire is the publication of a 999-line poem in four cantos ("Pale Fire") by a famous American poet, John Shade. The poem digressively describes many aspects of Shade's life. Canto 1 includes his early encounters with death and glimpses of the apparent otherworldly. Canto 2 is about his family and the death (possibly by suicide) of his daughter, Hazel. Canto 3 is about his search for knowledge about an afterlife, culminating in a "faint hope" in higher powers "playing a game of worlds" as indicated by apparent coincidences. Canto 4 includes many personal details and Shade's thoughts on his poetry, which he finds to be a means of somehow understanding the universe.
The poem appears with a Foreword, extensive Commentary, and Index by Shade's self-appointed editor, Charles Kinbote, Shade's neighbor in the small college town of New Wye. According to Kinbote, Shade has been murdered and the poem remains unfinished. Kinbote takes it upon himself to oversee its publication, telling readers that it lacks only one line.
In the Foreword, Commentary and Index, Kinbote explicates the poem surprisingly little. Instead he tells his own story, notably including his friendship with Shade, and the story of Charles II Xavier, the deposed king of the "distant northern land" of Zembla who picturesquely escaped imprisonment by Soviet-backed revolutionaries. The reader soon realizes that Kinbote is Charles Xavier, living incognito—or, though he builds an elaborate picture of Zembla complete with samples of a constructed language, that he is insane and that his identification with Charles and perhaps all of Zembla are his delusions. A third story told by Kinbote in his Commentary is that of Gradus, an assassin dispatched by the new rulers of Zembla to kill the exiled King Charles.
Nabokov said in an interview that Kinbote committed suicide after finishing the book.[2] The critic Michael Wood has stated, "This is authorial trespassing, and we don't have to pay attention to it,"[3] but Brian Boyd has argued that internal evidence points to Kinbote's suicide.[4]
Kinbote's critical apparatus, especially his Commentary (in the form of notes to various lines) and Index, is full of cross-references and narrates his stories in a highly non-linear way. (The book has been cited by Ted Nelson as an archetypal proto-hypertext.)
Explanation of the title
As Nabokov pointed out himself,[5] the title of John Shade's poem is from Shakespeare's Timon of Athens: "The moon's an arrant thief, / And her pale fire she snatches from the sun" (Act IV, scene 3), often taken as a metaphor about creativity and inspiration. (Kinbote quotes the passage but doesn't recognize it, as he says he has only a Zemblan version of the play.) Some interpreters have noted a secondary reference to Hamlet, where the Ghost remarks how the glow-worm "'gins to pale his uneffectual fire" (Act I, scene 5).[6]
Interpretations
Some readers concentrate on the apparent story, focusing on traditional aspects of fiction such as the relationship among the characters.[7][8] They may make a case that Kinbote is parasitic on Shade, or that Shade's poem is mediocre and Kinbote, the inventor of Zembla, is a true genius.[citation needed] In 1997, Brian Boyd published a much-discussed study[9] arguing that the ghost of John Shade influenced Kinbote's contributions. He later expanded this essay into a book, in which he also argues that Hazel's ghost induced Kinbote to say things to Shade that inspired Shade's poem.[4]
Other readers see a story quite different from the apparent narrative. "Shadeans" maintain that John Shade wrote not only the poem, but the commentary as well, having invented his own death and the character of Kinbote as a literary device. According to Boyd,[9] Andrew Field invented the Shadean theory[10] and Julia Bader expanded it;[11] Boyd himself espoused the theory for a time.[12] "Kinboteans", a decidedly smaller group, believe that Kinbote invented the existence of John Shade. Boyd[9] credits the Kinbotean theory to Page Stegner[13] and adds that most of its adherents are newcomers to the book. Some readers see the book as oscillating undecidably between these alternatives, like the Rubin vase (a drawing that may be two profiles or a goblet).[14] [15] [16]
Though a minority of commentators believe that Zembla is as "real" as New Wye, most assume that Zembla, or at least the operetta-quaint and homosexually gratified palace life enjoyed by Charles Xavier before he is overthrown, is imaginary in the context of the story. The name "Zembla" (taken from "Nova Zembla", a former anglicization of Novaya Zemlya) may evoke popular fantasy literature about royalty such as The Prisoner of Zenda, signaling that it is not to be taken literally.[citation needed] As in so many of Nabokov's books, however, the fiction is only an exaggerated or comically distorted version of his own life as a son of privilege before the Russian Revolution and an exile after,[citation needed] and the central murder has resemblances (emphasized by Priscilla Meyer[17]) to Nabokov's father's murder by an assassin trying to kill someone else.
Some readers, starting with Mary McCarthy[18] and including Boyd, Nabokov's annotator Alfred Appel,[19] and D. Barton Johnson,[20] see Charles Kinbote as an alter-ego of the insane Professor V. Botkin, to whose delusions John Shade and the rest of the faculty of Wordsmith College generally condescend. Nabokov himself endorsed this reading, stating in an interview in 1962 (the novel's year of publication) that Pale Fire "is full of plums that I keep hoping somebody will find. For instance, the nasty commentator is not an ex-King of Zembla nor is he professor Kinbote. He is professor Botkin, or Botkine, a Russian and a madman."[5] In this interpretation, the "Gradus" who kills Shade is an American named Jack Grey who wanted to kill Judge Goldsworth, whose house Kinbote is renting. Goldsworth had condemned Grey to an asylum from which he escaped shortly before mistakenly killing Shade, who resembled Goldsworth.
Still other readers de-emphasize any sort of "real story" and may doubt the existence of such a thing. In the interplay of allusions and thematic links, they find a picture of English literature,[17] criticism,[14] or some other topic.
And now, dear readers of FEEL FREE TO LAUGH, you have a better handle on PALE FIRE.

Hallo, Glenn!
This is not a comment on the literature in Stella's blog accompanying this, but is a plea for you to please paste the list of famous people born in 1935 and 1939; I have been unable to copy the complete lists as of yet, as here I am limited to only one hour a day on a computer in the Seattle Public Library System. In Germany, thanks to nepotisyic help from the "Lovely Librarian", I have unlimited (except by the library's closing hours) time on one of the computers in the State Library there.
Or could you please print a copy of both lists and give them to Lane, whom I will be seeing more often as I will be a tennant of his after mid-August. Thanks.

Thanks, Glenn, for the renewed list of 1935 and 1939 "babies". I have now copied the significant ones. At least those significant to me (and, those I believe of significance to the "Lovely Librarian". I'll show the 39ers to her when I return for two weeks in Schwerin (13-26 June.
I'm sure she too will be grateful to you!!
