Marcel Proust Quotes
At The Moment When, Ordinarily, There Was Still An Hour To Be Lived Through Before Meal-time Sounded, We Would All Know That In A Few Seconds We Should See The Endives Make Their Precocious Appearance, Followed By The Special Favour Of An Omelette, An Unmerited Steak. The Return Of This Asymmetrical Saturday Was One Of Those Petty Occurrences, Intra-mural, Localised, Almost Civic, Which, In Uneventful Lives And Stable Orders Of Society, Create A Kind Of National Unity, And Become The Favourite Theme For Conversation, For Pleasantries, For Anecdotes Which Can Be Embroidered As The Narrator Pleases; It Would Have Provided A Nucleus, Ready-made, For A Legendary Cycle, If Any Of Us Had Had The Epic Mind.
