19 April, 1939 Letters To Véra By Vladimir Nabokov

Dante Alighieri, The Divine Comedy, Book 1 “Inferno,” Canto 5 [tr. James (2013)]

You didn't even ask how I was. You nuked me with emotions that targetted even my hidden bunkers of peace that previously suffered a quake not hours before. You chose the right time for war. Now who will ask how I am?

I'll leave you for now, won't ask what that's about. But I'll wait for a recall. Remember me in the midst of it all.

Feelings are just visitors, let them come and go.
