This reminds me -- does anyone remember a Nabokov parody called "Three
Meetings" by Eli Wallach? It's long out of print, but the bit I recall is
his discovery of the Lightly Salted butterfly, "bug pennants,
bucking....choppy flags of the forest". This book I think was named for much
funnier parody (wouldn't it be?) of Eliot, a takeoff on "The Cocktail Party"
called Hopalong-Freud, which ends with the audience kneeling and singing
Adeste, Fideles.

Meetings" by Eli Wallach? It's long out of print, but the bit I recall is
his discovery of the Lightly Salted butterfly, "bug pennants,
bucking....choppy flags of the forest". This book I think was named for much
funnier parody (wouldn't it be?) of Eliot, a takeoff on "The Cocktail Party"
