>From an article posted to the NABOKV-L list on 8/3/2003:
"VN Bibliography: Pellérdi Márta: Nabokov’s The Real Life of Sebastian
Knight or, What You Will"

> The Clown in Act IV Scene II of Twelfth Night takes leave of Malvolio
with the following song
> "...Like a mad lad,
> Pare thy nails, dad;
> Adieu, goodman drivel".  

These few words suggest to me dad de-clawed. Similarly,
Shade trimming a form of nimbi (sharf sinn == acuity)
suggests Shade reached an outside viewpoint subsuming
all other perspectives as aspects of minor importance.
