How the beauty of Watteau's silk gowns shines through the crackelure! (Gayle, who is the translator of the Proust quotes you've used? I am not happy with the translation of my edition. Thanks)Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07044021227952639108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498357134928699381.post-18632867740568860452011-05-24T08:59:42.225-04:002011-05-24T08:59:42.225-04:00P.S.

There has never been anyone like Proust, and never will be. I have been meaning to re-read the canon, but it's nice to have a reading partner to do so, and it just takes a certain type that's hard to find. In the meantime, I collect and collect every book I can find on Proust and his real-life characters (like Montesquiou). "Paintings in Proust" is quite the piece of work -- and surprisingly from a non-academic. Anyway, LOVED this post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
