I'm surprised that a dedicated obscurantist such as yourself could miss
where "aresh" comes from.....after all, the author's name is right there
in the song! Yep, good old Marcel Brust -oops, that's Proust. The real
title is "A la Recherche du Temps Perdu", translated in English as "The
Remembrance of Things Past." It's a 3 volume set of 7 "books" in the
most elliptical Frogspeak you can imagine whose siren charms are known
to all.  It is the novelistic equivalent of very good brandy. It will
either entirely captivate your or put you right to sleep, just like
you-know-who.
