“Somewhere deep in this painting, I can hear an echo of Marcel Proust's dreamy prose. Here is an excerpt from his trilogy
Swans Way. Remembrance of Things Past.
"...I could hear the whistling of trains, which, now nearer and farther off, punctuating the distance like the note of a bird in a forest, showed me in perspective the deserted countryside through which a traveler is hurrying towards a nearby station, and the path he is taking will be engraved in his memory by the excitement inducted by strange surroundings, by unaccustomed activities, by the conversations he has had and the farewells exchanged beneath an unfamiliar lamp, still echoing in his ears amid the silence of the night, by the imminent joy of going home.” - Alexander Volkov
