Well, yes, obviously. But there can be humour in bad taste, and I think
that this is. I enjoy the shaving and soaping and, in general, the way
"Different themes are ludicrously mingled to great effect", as Jansy puts it,
and in general I love Nabokov's humour. But I don't think this comes off, let
alone constitutes poetry superior to "Four Quartets" as some would have it.
