QUERY: Question about the Prismatic Bezel
From
Date
Body
lines) ------------------
Dear Nabokovians:
I remember there being a remark, either in The Real Life of Sebastian Knight
or in criticism about the novel, regarding the Prismatic Bezel - the term
bezel is both a word for a kind of cut as well as for the tool used to make
that cut (I believe). I remember there being, perhaps, some sort of word
(or more elegant way) to describe this linguistic feat.
Can anyone help me out? A friend is working on a paper on bibliography, and
the way he is using the term reminds me of the Nabokov cite.
Thank you, in advance, for any help you can offer.
