#:*1962: Whatever in my field of vision dwelt � / An indoor scene, hickory leaves, the svelte / Stilettos of a frozen stillicide � / Was printed on my eyelids' nether side / Where it would tarry for an hour or two, / And while this lasted all I had to do / Was close my eyes to reproduce the leaves, / Or indoor scene, or trophies of the eaves. � Vladimir Nabokov, Pale Fire
