Nabokov's Lolita annotated by Genius.com

She was Lo, plain Lo, in the morning, standing four feet ten in one sock². She was Lola in slacks. She was Dolly³ at school. She was Dolores on the dotted line. But in my arms she was always Lolita.

Did she have a precursor? She did, indeed she did. In point of fact, there might have been no Lolita at all had I not loved, one summer, a certain initial girl-child. In a princedom by the sea. Oh when? About as many years before Lolita was born as my age was that summer. You can always count on a murderer for a fancy prose style⁴.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, exhibit number one is what the seraphs⁵, the misinformed, simple, noble-winged seraphs, envied. Look at this tangle of thorns⁶.

²Lo wears one sock like Mario
wears the Kuribo shoe.
She still short though (4'10".)

³Dolly, sheep, cloned in
1996. The author likes science.

⁴Possible reference to gangsta
(gangster) rappers who discuss
their violent pasts through lyrics.

⁵Misspelled. Actually meant to
say "SE Raps"-- a reference to
the Dirty South style of hip-hop
mentioned in last paragraph.

⁶Thhe tangle is actually a crown
of thorns. The author is literally
Jesus or has stolen the hat of
Jesus.
