The Boxing Picture

Since Sexson brought up this picture in class today, I wanted to make sure that the reason behind me putting the boxing picture of Nabokov on my blog is quite clear....

I don't know if this is the reason Nabokov took this picture, and I don't know the story behind it, but it is important to think about the fact that the most famous boxer of all time, Muhammad Ali, says, "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee," when talking about how to fight as a boxer.

I think this may have something to do with this picture, because Nabokov loves butterflies...
