Yes Indeed, In Search Of Lost Time-On The Centennial Year Of The  Publication Of Marcel Prout's Swann's Way...


and dreams of a lost past, dreams of a time before the world went over the edge, went into the madness of the trenches, went to spend their time creating fields of simple white crosses and devouring the flower of a generation, and dreams of a lost past when a man or a woman could take the measure of their times and not have figure out why they had built a thing from which they had to flee.  Oh yes a time too to have time for self-expression, many pages of self-expression, to preen, to look at the old order with a nod, if not a wink. And yes, go on and on, go on and on almost beyond endurance, about mystical french pastries.
