This was my favorite line (it occurred very early in the novel):
"I am just winking happy thoughts into a little tiddle cup."
Hilarious stuff.
And now, I came across this "nonsense" verse (Nabokov's word, not mine) that I like a lot as well:
"The Squirl and his Squirrel, the Rabs and their Rabbits
Haver certain obscure and peculiar habits.
Male hummingbirds make the most exquisite rockets.
the snake when he walks holds his hands in his pockets..."
Been trying to picture a snake with hands in his pockets ever since.
