Marcel Proust used the metaphor of the madeleine to illustrate the complexity of the memorial question. What do we remember when we remember things if not, to Gabriel Toshome’s term, ruins? Ruins is what is left when we have forgotten everything. It functions as a spring that sources all our perception of times long gone.
