Pale Fire: Nabokov’s Poetic Clue — “The bolagram is a definition of poetry as a means of “de-spelling” polar oppositions through the power of reversal and negation. The window pane kills the waxwing but sets in motion a series of fictive possibilties. Nabokov indicates his awareness of the “ij” wave function by expressly addressing the reversal of inside and outside as instances of possible poetic coincidence.” From: Boundaryspeak — Study through Examples.
