Query: Nabokov quote

[Inna Caron]

I think the student may be thinking of Skotoma's "Ekwilism" in Bend
Sinister. One of its premises maintains that human beings are like
vessels containing unequally distributed amount of consciousness. The
passage is quoted extensively in an article by Dana Dragunoiu (Journal
of Modern Literature, 2001, no. 25, issue 1, p. 67)

Subject: [SEELANGS] Query: Nabokov quote

Dear Colleagues:

I'm writing on behalf of a student who is looking for the source of a 
quote by Nabokov describing human beings as vessels filling up and 
brimming over. If you have any clues, please reply to me off-list at 
griesenb at fas.harvard.edu.

Many thanks!
