QUERY: Source for Nabokov passage from love letter

Body
Hello,
I'm trying to find a passage that I read in a Nabokov book, however I only
have the very vaguest recollection of it. The clues I can remember are:
- I'm almost certain it was the end of a love letter
- It used the sun rising or setting, or perhaps the turning of the earth, as
a device to illustrate the distance between the letter-writer and his love.
- I'm also pretty sure that Martin Amis used it somewhere, either putting
the words into one of his own characters or quoting it in some critical work.
I know there is almost nothing to go on, but maybe someone will recognize
what I'm talking about.
thank you,
Paul Nulty
