Marcel Proust is a writer who to read feels like bathing in someone else's dirty water.

Marcel Proust is notable for his combination of the utmost sensibility with the utmost tenacity. He searches out these butterfly shades to the last grain. He is as tough as catgut and as evanescent as a butterfly's bloom.
