Pale Fire.....yeah yeah.

I'm back on my Pale Fire shit lol. It's in my top three books all time, and recently I found it in paperback...so...deal with me. First excerpt...*ahem*


"Bypass chair legs and stray beneath the bed,
There was a sudden sunburst in my head.

And then black night. That blackness was sublime.
I felt distributed through space and time:
One foot upon a mountaintop, one hand
Under the pebbles of a panting strand,
One ear in Italy, One eye in Spain,
In caves, my blood, and in the stars, my brain.
There were dull throbs in my Triassic; green
Optical spots in Upper Pleistocene
An icy shiver down my Age of Stone
And all tomorrows in my funny bone."



Well damn.
