Did you google that? What book is it from? and who is Botkin?

I did Google that...It's a good poem, I had to know... I think it's in Pale Fire, though I haven't come across it yet in my reading... From what I've seen online Botkin is Kinbote, but I don't know, the internet screws things up, that's why I'm reading the actual book... Works better that way ;)

Well, googling robs you of "the sjit" status in my book. Nevertheless, if you read the book after googling the poem, you rule.

It's a great book. I did my thesis on it in college. It's not an easy read, but it turn out to be one of your vavorites.

If you have any questions during your reading, let me know.
