[NABOKV -L] A certain kind of immortality...
From
Date
Body
Variations on: "Shade [smiling and massaging my knee]: "Kings do not die -
they only disappear, eh, Charles?" " (Pale Fire)
Still wondering about Erwin's song (from VN's "A Nursery Tale" adapted
short-story in a London play) and the musician G. Rossini, I finally came to
his overture of "The Barber of Seville" - where I read a comment on the
youtube link stating that "old artists never die, they just become
enchanted".
It reminded me of Kinbote's reported dialogue with John Shade and this time
I found a new site with innumerous variations of the same idea.
The closest to Nabokov's is the already mentioned "Old magicians never die,
they just disappear" [already discussed in a past VN-L exchange on Thursday,
August 03, 2006 12:49 PM with Subject: [NABOKV-L] Kings never die...( Pale
Fire).

Kinbote's quip isn't very original at all.
