perdutamente innamorata di 'marcel' della ricerca, ossia di me stessa, ahimè...un libro che ho la fortuna di non aver terminato ancora, una scoperta meravigliosa proprio quando credevo d'aver già letto tra le cose migliori si potessero scrivere...viaggio nella matrioska di noi stessi

just finished the last volume of In search of lost time 3 days ago, I'm still letting it all settle. The day after, I experienced the closing end of a Proust like connection that began last year between 2 acquaintances, both of whom are unaware that the other knows me and who likely don't know each other, but are connected by 3 bonds through me, 2 of them between themselves regardless of me. The whole thing is fitting of the connectivity discussion that occured later in the last volume. Though I regret that my inter-relation experiences with these acquaintances weren't nearly as intense as some of Proust's, he on the other hand was explicit more than once in reminding the reader that many of his experiences that induced revelations of relationships and realities were remarkably mundane.

De tous les modes de production de l'amour, de tous les agents de dissémination du mal sacrée, il est bien l'un des plus efficaces, ce grand souffle d'agitation qui parfois passe sur nous. Alors l'être avec qui nous nous plaisons à ce moment-là, le sort en est jeté, c'est lui que nous aimerons. Il n'est même pas besoin qu'il nous plût jusque-là plus ou même autant que d'autres. Ce qu'il fallait, c'est que notre goût pour lui devînt exclusif. Et cette condition-là est réalisée quand _ à ce moment où il nous fait défaut _ à la recherche des plaisirs que son agrément nous donnait, s'est brusquement substitué en nous un besoin absurde, que les lois de ce monde rendent impossible à satisfaire et difficile à guérir _ le besoin insensé et douloureux de le posséder.
