“Proud Songsters
The thrushes sing as the sun is going,
And the finches whistle in ones and pairs,
And as it gets dark loud nightingales
In bushes
Pipe, as they can when April wears,
As if all Time were theirs.
These are brand-new birds of twelve-months’ growing,
Which a year ago, or less than twain,
No finches were, nor nightingales,
Nor thrushes,
But only particles of grain,
And earth, and air, and rain.”

“Proust ha explicado admirablemente por que no le interesaba un lugar sino cuando volvía a el; por que no encontraba sabor sino a lo ya visto, a lo ya experimentado, a lo ya vivido; por que, en suma, no comenzaba a gustar de las cosas sino a partir del momento en que recomenzaba.
Este análisis se relaciona, a mi parecer,con la esencia misma de toda una clase de seres: aquellos que no han podido curarse de su infancia.Todo lo que en ellos florece tiene sus raíces en su pretérita infancia. Todas las cosas cuya expresión persiguen yacen en el silencio vehemente que la agitó.”
