If anyone really cares, I actually tracked the lines down to their sources in MD at one time for an article I was writing about Melville and VN...

Tim,
Perhaps you are thinking of the Zemblan translation of T of A? That's in Kinbote's note to line 39. If it's really BS you mean, are you thinking of the poem in chapter 12, which VN made by combining lines from Moby Dick?
A curious sight--these bashful bears
These timid warrior whalemen
And now the time of the tide has come;
The ship casts off her cables
It is not shown on any map;
True places never are
This lovely light, it lights not me;
All loveliness is anguish--
MR
