MARCEL PROUST


Paris: Champs-Elysees 1948


Swann's Way:  "The chairs, deserted by the imposing but uninspiring company of governesses, stood empty...across the frontier guarded at regular intervals by little bastions of barley-sugar women...motionless, on the lawn nurtured by the invisible sun which here and there, kindled to a flame the point of a blade of grass."
