“Daughters of the attitude that produced them, certain women will not appeal to us without the double bed in which we find peace by their side, while others, to be caressed with a more secret intention, require leaves blown by the wind, water rippling in the dark, things as light and fleeting as they are.” LightCertainWomenSidesWaterDarkSecretAttitudeWindBedDaughterIntentionAppealsFleetingFinding PeaceDark Things Book:In Search of Lost Time Volume III The Guermantes Way Source: In Search of Lost Time Volume III The Guermantes Way
