it'll

I'm just reading it without recourse to Nabokov criticism (and without
Kinbote's influence) to see what gets evoked for me from the poem standing
alone. Unfortunately I'll have to overlap the Kinbote influence a bit as I
prepare for the first 20 pages of the Commentary. Until my study day at UCSB
in another week or so I'm going to fart around with the poem on its own. I
could sit down and flesh out the incest angle, I suppose, but that would
take more time than I have to give it at the moment.
