The Story of My Life by Helen Keller: “to read with pleasure La Fontaine's "Fables," "Le Medecin Malgre Lui" and passages from "Athalie."”
Swann's Way by Marcel Proust: “Whenever he spoke of something whose beauty had until then remained hidden from me, of pine-forests or of hailstorms, of _Notre-Dame de Paris_, of _Athalie_, or of _Phedre_, by some piece of imagery he would make their beauty explode and drench me with its essence.”
