Professor Omry Ronen of Michigan, a Nabokov eridute who does not take part
in this forum, drew my attention to a book by Maud Bodkin, "Archetypal
Patterns in Poetry: Psychological Studies of Imagination" (Oxford UP,
1934). I haven't read it, but doesn't almost every word and number in this
citation seems to fit various sides of Pale Fire so well as to preclude the
possibility of an accidental coincidence?
