Let me repeat with quite force: I was, and still am, despite mes malheurs, an exceptionally handsome male; slow moving tall, with dark soft hair and a gloomy but all the more seductive cast of demeanour.
In Vladimir Nabokov's novel "Lolita," the narrator expresses a strong sense of pride in his physical appearance, despite the misfortunes and challenges he faces. He describes himself as an exceptionally handsome man, emphasizing his tall stature, dark soft hair, and a demeanor that is both gloomy and seductive. This self-assessment suggests a complex interplay between vanity and melancholy, reflecting his inner turmoil while maintaining an awareness of his attractiveness.
