The poetic and romantic lyricism become the foundation for allusion from the deviancy of Humbert s sexual desires:
"Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. ... But in my arms she was always Lolita". ... The tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps refers to Humbert s tongue and the palate he wishes to tap at three on the teeth is Lolita s. Evidently, Humbert s clever choice of words masks the interdict aspect of his sexual desires for Lolita. ... Humbert asserts that his love for and memory of his first love provided the basis for his affair with Lolita.
