“I too still wept when I became once again for a moment the former friend of Albertine. But it was into a new personality that I was tending to change altogether.

“But all the reflexes of desire, of anxiety, of the mortal blow struck by the fear of not seeing her if my father took me away,all these things, associated with an image of which I knew nothing..was enough that I knew it to be agreeable, already constituted a state of love.”p764 #Proust #TheFugitive

“And now, aware that..one element after another of my love was vanishing, the jealous side of it, then drifting gradually back in a vague remembrance to the tentative beginnings, it was my love..in the scattered notes of the little phrase, I seemed to see disintegrating before my eyes.” p756 #Proust

“It had been struck most of all by the elaboration, the trial runs, the repetitions, the gradual evolution of a phrase which developed through the course of the sonata as that love had developed through the course of my life.” p755 #Proust #TheFugitive

“In the Bois, I hummed phrases of Vinteuil’s sonata…that Albertine had..played it to me no longer saddened me unduly,..my memories of her had entered into that secondary chemical state..no longer cause of an anxious oppression of the heart, but rather a certain sweetness.” p755 #Proust #TheFugitive

“Then I was no longer alone; I felt the barrier that separated us vanish..True, I still wanted to speak to her about the story of the laundry-girl, but no longer in order to score a cruel triumph... I asked her tenderly, as I should have asked her had she been alive…” p714 #Proust #TheFugitive 💙

I know what the fear is.
The fear is not for what is lost.
What is lost is already in the wall.
