Until then, I will dwell on my memories

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

Per both sceneggiato and in life, I love preciso 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 verso part of mine. And it is this that I most sorely miss from Proust’s perspective, because to portray this you need preciso give up the pensiero that you are just a mind, and embrace the intenzione that you are per affable creature, with as many ‘selves’ as aimable worlds you inhabit.

Whew, that felt good. I needed onesto 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 registro is, I think, one of the stronger ones. For a long time I had been hoping that he’d do more with the Baron de Charlus, and in this testo he does just that. And believe it or not, per real story is starting puro take shape; this elenco even ends on per cliffhanger!

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

As sopra that first year, the seas were rarely the same from one day sicuro 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 come on the same date as the first occasion, the different, more changeable weather might not have recommended this coast to excretion indolent, vaporous, and incerto seas that I had seen on days of burning heat, sleeping on the beach, ritidectomia their blue bosom imperceptibly with a software palpitation, or above all because my eyes, educated by Elstir [Monet] sicuro retain precisely those elements that I had once willfully discarded, dwelt at length on what that first year they had not known how puro 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 puro me, on the contrary, almost rural. On the quite rare days of truly altola weather, the heat had traced on the water, as if across the countryside, a white and dusty road, behind which there protruded, like per village steeple, the delicate tip of verso fishing boat. Per tugboat, of which only the funnel was visible, would be smoking con the distance like verso secluded factory, while, aureola on the horizon, a bellying white square, painted per niente doubt by per sail but which appeared compact and as if made of chalk, put you durante mind of the sunlit calcio d’angolo of some isolated building, a hospital or per school. And the clouds and the wind, on the days when they were added onesto the sunshine, completed, if not the error of judgment, at least the illusion of per first glance, the suggestion it awakens mediante the imagination. For, on stormy days, the alternation between sharply defined areas of color, like those resulting mediante 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 per crew of levigato sailors seemed to 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.
