Vladimir Nabokov Quote

Because you took advantage of a sinner because you took advantage because you took because you took advantage of my disadvantage … That’s good, you know. That’s damned good. … when I stood Adam-naked before a federal law and all its stinging stars Oh, grand stuff! … Because you took advantage of a sin when I was helpless moulting moist and tender hoping for the best dreaming of marriage in a mountain state aye of a litter of Lolitas … Didn’t get that. Because you took advantage of my inner essential innocence because you cheated me— A little repetitious, what? Where was I? Because you cheated me of my redemption because you took her at the age when lads play with erector sets Getting smutty, eh? a little downy girl still wearing poppies still eating popcorn in the colored gloam where tawny Indians took paid croppers because you stole her from her wax-browed and dignified protector spitting into his heavy-lidded eye ripping his flavid toga and at dawn leaving the hog to roll upon his new discomfort the awfulness of love and violets remorse despair while you took a dull doll to pieces and threw its head away because of all you did because of all I did not you have to die
