Mike,
Having read Keats's letters and found nothing in those addressed to Bailey to
suggest a Proustian theme, I took Humbert's assertion to mean that his article
had intentionally been in jest. HH notes without disappointment that the
article provoked chuckles from the few scholars who read it. I think VN was
prone to enjoying this sort of humor. Possibly something of the sort was among
the minute idea seeds out of which grew the masterpiece Pale Fire.
