Yeats, in an oft quoted letter, describes the gift thus: "Lapis Lazuli carved by some Chinese sculptor into the semblance of a mountain with temple, trees, paths, and an ascetic and pupil about to climb the mountain. Ascetic, pupil, hard stone, eternal theme of the sensual east. The heroic cry in the midst of despair. But no, I am wrong, the east has its solutions always and therefore knows nothing of tragedy. It is we, not the east, that must raise the heroic cry." (Letter to Dorothy Wellesley (as in Wellesley College?) July 6 1935)
ellauri276.html on line 1298: "Bostonin avioliitto" oli historiallisesti kahden varakkaan naisen avoliitto, joka oli riippumaton miehen taloudellisesta tuesta. Sanan sanotaan olleen käytössä Uudessa Englannissa 1800-luvun lopulla/1900-luvun alussa. Jotkut näistä suhteista olivat luonteeltaan niin romanttisia, että niitä voitaisiin nyt pitää lesbosuhteina; muut eivät olleet. Termi Bostonin avioliitto yhdistettiin Henry Jamesin The Bostonians (1886) -romaaniin, joka käsitteli pitkää avoliittoa kahden naimattoman naisen, "uusien naisten" välillä, vaikka James itse ei koskaan käyttänyt termiä. Jamesin sisar Alice eli sellaisessa suhteessa Katherine Loringin kanssa ja oli hänen romaanin lähteittensä joukossa. Bostonin avioliitot olivat niin yleisiä Wellesley Collegessa 1800-luvun lopulla ja 1900-luvun alussa, että termistä Wellesley-avioliitto tuli suosittu kuvaus. 1800-luvun lopulla Wellesleyn 53 naisen tiedekunnasta vain yksi nainen oli perinteisesti naimisissa miehen kanssa; useimmat muut asuivat naispuolisen seuralaisen kanssa. Yksi tunnetuimmista pareista oli Katharine Lee Bates ja Katharine Ellis Coman. Bates oli runouden professori ja " America The Beautiful " renkutuxen kirjoittaja.

Mother Thing. She became a central leader of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) based in Switzerland, for which she won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1946. In a letter to the president of Wellesley, she wrote we should follow "the ways of Jesus." Her spiritual thoughts were that American economy was "far from being in harmony with the principles of Jesus which we profess." Wellesley College terminated her contract in 1919.
xxx/ellauri127.html on line 116: There are currently five scholarly journals devoted to Nabokov studies. His allusive style and trilingual (English, French, Russian) wordplay are catnip for academics, who endlessly parse challenging texts like “Pale Fire” — a novel in verse, followed by obscurantist commentary — finding new apercus tailor-made for small-journal publication. Nabokov’s apotheosis in academe is quite ironical, because he and his close friend, the literary critic Edmund Wilson, shared an icy disdain for the ivory tower. They viewed universities as ATMs, handy because there were so many of them, and because they were flush with cash. Nabokov, who arrived in the United States penniless in 1940, had to rely on teaching assignments at Wellesley and Cornell to feed his family for 15 years. The moment “Lolita” made him financially independent, he fled Cornell for Switzerland and never set foot in a classroom again.
