In the current Vol 22 No 3 (8 Feb 2001) issue of the
London Review of Books, John Redmond's review of Derek
Mahon's _Selected Poems_ mentions in the last paragraph
on p 31 that, "Mahon is fond of one of Nabokov's
phrases evoking the mystic individuality of things in
'the halo around the frying pan.'" and in the next
paragraph goes on to mention, "a characteristic
panorama, a total vision, which rapidly shrinks through
a gothic keyhole into a gardenshed, a miniature
Gormenghast, where the Nabokovian halo spreads uneasily
over a cluster of mushrooms."
I only mention this because its is there! (Further
deponent saith nought.)
