Subject
PF, Cocteau on Proust
Date
Body
Kinbote in PF, regarding "Proust's rough masterpiece":

. . . described-by Cocteau, I think-as 'a mirage of suspended gardens,'. . .

Cocteau in Excelsior (1913):

Swann is a gigantic miniature, full of mirages, superimpositions of gardens, plays on time and space, broad cool touches in the style of Manet.
