Marcel Proust Quotes

I Would Ask Myself What O'clock It Could Be; I Could Hear The Whistling Of Trains, Which, Now Nearer And Now Farther Off, Punctuating The Distance Like The Note Of A Bird In A Forest, Shewed Me In Perspective The Deserted Countryside Through Which A Traveller Would Be Hurrying Towards The Nearest Station: The Path That He Followed Being Fixed For Ever In His Memory By The General Excitement Due To Being In A Strange Place, To Doing Unusual Things, To The Last Words Of Conversation, To Farewells Exchanged Beneath An Unfamiliar Lamp Which Echoed Still In His Ears Amid The Silence Of The Night; And To The Delightful Prospect Of Being Once Again At Home.
