Oscar Wilde, letter to Lord Alfred Douglass
(1)
Love to Encombe
A[lbemarle] C[lub]
Dearest Bosie
I am so glad you are better, and that you like the little cardcase—Oxford is quite impossible in winter
(2)
go to Paris next week—for 10 days or so. Are you really going to the Scilly Isles?
I should awfully like to go away with you somewhere—where it is hot and coloured—
I am terribly busy in
(3)
town—Tree rushing up to see me on all occasions—also strange and troubling personalities walking in painted pageants—
Of the poem I will write tomorrow.
Ever yours
Oscar

Echoes from Storyland. New York: McLoughlin Brothers (1880s)
So she was burnt with all her clothes
And arms, and hands, and eyes, and nose;
Till she had nothing more to lose.
Except her little scarlet shoes :
And nothing else but these were found,
Among her ashes on the ground.

Vladimir Nabokov’s notecards for Lolita.
As the author told us in 1967, “[My wife] presided as adviser and judge over the making of my first fiction in the early twenties. I have read to her all my stories and novels at least twice; and she has reread them all when typing them and correcting proofs and checking translations into several languages. One day in 1950, at Ithaca, New York, she was responsible for stopping me and urging delay and second thoughts as, beset with technical difficulties and doubts, I was carrying the first chapters of Lolita to the garden incinerator.”
