 Proust Group

Byram Shubert Library

In this month reading, the narrator having gained access to the salon of the Duchess de Guermantes, makes comments about the hierarchy of the aristocracy and the qualities they seek in the people they invite in their midst. Following is an excerpt:
"What the Duchesse de Guermantes valued above everything else was not intellect; it was, according to her, that superior, more exquisite form of the human intellect exalted to a verbal variety of talent - wit."
