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 'clans 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
