Bonjour tout le monde,
''Proust in the Power of Photography'' by Brassai.
from
''Marcel Proust sous l' emprise de la
photographie.''
Translated by Richard Howard ( 2001
)
......................
It may not be generally known that
Marcel Proust was a writer whilst Brassai was a photographer and
journalist.
''Pleasures are like photographs: those
taken in the beloved's presence no more than negatives, to be developed
later, once you are home, having regained the use of that interior
darkroom, access to which is ''condemned ''as long as you are seeing other
people'' ''
-- WITHIN A BUDDING GROVE
Sorry, my French is not good enough to do
this quote justice.
