Dear Jeffrey,
Here's the Proust page.
You'll see he `finishes' the book 4 times, with the words `dans le Temps', in time. After the third shot he thinks
he's really got it and writes `Fin', The End, with a real flourish. The he crosses out `dans le Temps', continues
the sentence and writes `dans le Temps' again - for the last time, since he died soon after this.
The full sentence reads, in a very literal translation:
So if strength was left to me long enough to accomplish my work, I should not fail first of all to describe men
there, even if it made them monstrous creatures, as occupying a place so considerable alongside the so restricted
one reserved for them in space, a place on the contrary extended beyond measure, since they simultaneously
touch, like giants plunged into the years, periods they have lived through, so distant, between which so many
days have intervened - in Time
What we see at the bottom of the page is:
place so considerable alongside the so restricted one reserved for them in space, a place on the contrary extended
beyond measure, in Time.
Then he crosses out `in Time', and inserts:
since they simultaneously touch, like giants plunged into the years, periods they have lived through, so distant,
between which so many days have intervened - in Time
Thanks again for dinner and talk - my idea of a really good time, although next time you should do more of the
talking...
All best,
Michael
