Vladimir Nabokov Quotes: She was only the faint violet whiff and…

She was only the faint violet whiff and dead leaf echo of the nymphet I had rolled myself upon with such cries in the past; an echo on the brink of a russet ravine, with a far wood under a white sky, and brown leaves choking the brook, and one last cricket in the crisp weeds.

More Quotes from Vladimir Nabokov:

Vladimir Nabokov

Vladimir Nabokov

Vladimir Nabokov

But in my arms she was always Lolita.
Vladimir Nabokov
