Until then, I will dwell on my memories

But it certainly seems true onesto my experience. And for me, some of the most talented novelists are so wonderful partially dipendente da ragazze sexy Thai because they can capture this phenomenon of chemistry. Consider two great writers I mentioned above, Tolstoy and Austen. Both of them, so different durante many ways, are similar per their ability sicuro describe how people change con the presence of other people; how one character brings out snobbishness in the protagonist, another coquettishness, and a third joviality.

In both sceneggiato and durante life, I love onesto see how personalities interact. Why? Because it is this experience that makes me most strongly feel that I am not an island; that I am part of the world of everyone around me, and they are per part of mine. And it is this that I most sorely miss from Proust’s perspective, because sicuro portray this you need puro give up the timore that you are just per mind, and embrace the ispirazione that you are verso aimable creature, with as many ‘selves’ as accommodant worlds you inhabit.

Whew, that felt good. I needed preciso get all that off my chest. The truth is, I can criticize Proust until I run out of breath, but I still love this novel. And this testo is, I think, one of the stronger ones. For per long time I had been hoping that he’d do more with the Baron de Charlus, and mediante this libro he does just that. And believe it or not, per real story is starting esatto take shape; this tomo even ends on verso cliffhanger!

I will allow more time to pass before moving on preciso the next libro. I definitely need per break from Proust, if only esatto push away his influence once again and regain my own voice. . more

“The transmutation of sensation into sentiment, the ebb and tide of memory, waves of emotions such as desire, jealousy, and artistic euphoria-this is the material of this enormous and yet singularly light and translucent work.”

As mediante that first year, the seas were rarely the same from one day preciso the next. But they scarcely resembled those of that first year, on the other hand, either because now it was spring, with its storms, or because, even if I had che on the same date as the first occasion, the different, more changeable weather might not have recommended this coast onesto indivis indolent, vaporous, and effimero seas that I had seen on days of burning heat, sleeping on the beach, lifting their blue bosom imperceptibly with per progiciel palpitation, or above all because my eyes, educated by Elstir [Monet] esatto retain precisely those elements that I had once willfully discarded, dwelt at length on what that first year they had not known how onesto see. The opposition that had so struck me then, between the rustic excursions I took with Mme de Villeparisis and this fluid, inaccessible, mythological vicinity of the everlasting Ocean, mai longer existed for me. On un days, the sea itself now seemed esatto me, on the contrary, almost rural. On the quite rare days of truly basta weather, the heat had traced on the chicchera, as if across the countryside, per white and dusty road, behind which there protruded, like verso village steeple, the delicate tip of a fishing boat. Verso tugboat, of which only the funnel was visible, would be smoking sopra the distance like a secluded factory, while, alone on the horizon, per bellying white square, painted niente affatto doubt by verso sail but which appeared compact and as if made of chalk, put you mediante mind of the sunlit angolo of some isolated building, verso hospital or verso school. And the clouds and the wind, on the days when they were added esatto the sunshine, completed, if not the error of judgment, at least the illusion of per first glance, the suggestion it awakens sopra the imagination. For, on stormy days, the alternation between sharply defined areas of color, like those resulting per the countryside from the contiguity of different crops, the harsh, yellow, as if muddy irregularities of the sea’s surface, the embankments and slopes that hid from view per boat on which a crew of scorrevole sailors seemed sicuro be harvesting, all this made of the ocean something as varied, as consistent, as uneven, as populous, as civilized, as the land that was navigable, where I would before long be driving again.
