I capítulo, Lolita - Vladimir Nabókov

Lolita, luz de mi vida, fuego de mis entrañas. Pecado mío, alma mía. Lo-li-ta: la punta de la lengua emprende un viaje de tres pasos paladar abajo para apoyarse, en el tercero, en el borde de los dientes. Lo.Li.Ta.
Era Lo, sencillamente Lo, por la mañana, un metro cuarenta y ocho de estatura con pies descalzos. Era Lola con pantalones. Era Dolly en la escuela. Era Dolores cuando firmaba. Pero en mis brazos era siempre Lolita.

¿Tuvo Lolita una precursora? Por cierto que la tuvo. En verdad, Lolita no pudo existir para mí si un verano no hubiese amado a otra... «En un principado junto al mar.» ¿Cuándo? Tantos años antes de que naciera Lolita como tenía yo ese verano. Siempre puede uno contar con un asesino para una prosa fantástica.
Señoras y señores del jurado, la prueba número uno es lo que envidiaron los serafines de Poe, los errados, simples serafines de nobles alas. Mirad esta maraña de espinas.

November Rain



When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain

We've been through this Such a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain
Yeahh..But lovers always come
And lovers always go
And no one's really sure Who's lettin' go today
Walking away
If we could take the time
To lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
Then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain
Do you need some time

On your own
Do you need some time
All alone
Everybody needs some time
On their own
Don't you know you need some time
All alone


I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you
Sometimes I need some time

On my own Sometimes
I need some time
All aloneEverybody needs some time
On their own
Don't you know you need some time
All alone


And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain
Don't ya think that you Need somebody

Don't ya think that you Need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
Don't ya think that you Need somebody

Don't ya think that you Need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
Don't ya think that you Need somebody

Don't ya think that you Need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
Don't ya think that you

Need somebody
Don't ya think that you
Need someone
Everybody needs somebody ...
