Matt Roth:See attached Edmund Wilson's "The Pickeral Pond: A Double Pastoral." You will recognize [s]pot[s]/[s]top[s] and spider/redips. Alas, no "powder"/"red wop" or, for that matter, partizan/nazi trap. Still, this would seem to be proof enough of a friendly (I believe) homage to EW in "PF." Oh, the poem is from a 1947 issue of the journal Furioso. I believe it was reprinted in EW's 1961 collection, Night Thoughts, though I haven't received that as yet.
JM: You are indeed a talented researcher. A gift to all of us.
Do you think that Nabokov's "red wop", if addressed by VN to Wilson as it seems to be the case, is a "friendly homage'? Added to the "nazitrap/partizan"? I confess that I tried to read the double pastoral for the "art" and found it empty and clumsy, at least in my first try.
