When people mouth agape, snore, are they shedding the redeeming marks of humanity

When one catches another person snoring, mouth agape, helpless, hapless, do you see them
in a state of having shed the various marks of humanity which had so previously you had thought of themImage result for person snoring

Or when sleeping peacefully as Proust would have it: When sleeping, Albertine is said to shed ‘the various marks of humanity which had so disappointed me’

 It was Proust who said,  that a writer inhabits his native language as if it were a foreign country; 

A la Oscar Wilde, Proust had a deeply romantic love of the idea of doom itself, i.e the Wildean, 'of that love that dare not speak its name.'
