Dear Matt,

Jansy wondered why I didn't address my concerns regarding Pale Fire and the Philomela tale to you: 

Jansy Mello: That’s my point [I quote a few of my misgivings expressed in another VN-L posting: “I also stopped to reconsider Matt Roth’s ideas and realized that his theories about incestuous relations, Hazel as a nightingale and Shade as “King” ( come herr’, “hombre”, etc. ), didn’t convince me.”] Why did you address me instead of Matt?

I should have so now I shall. Jansy and I both have problems with this idea of yours. Would you care to elaborate/defend?

Carolyn
