Within a Budding Grove
Track length10:11
But who, the reader has been asking…
Track length9:50
Incidentally she could naturally…
Track length10:47
For my judgment was aware…
Track length10:09
But suddenly everything was altered.
Track length10:12
And I gazed appealingly…
Track length9:52
As I entered, the Ambassador rose…
Track length9:44
You would have supposed, to hear him…
Track length9:08
My interest in Berma's acting…
Track length8:50
'Your friend M. de Vaugoubert…'
Track length9:48
'One thing, however,' M. de Norpois concluded…
Track length10:12
Poor Swann, who is as unsophisticated…
Track length10:25
Perhaps, on the other hand…
Track length10:36
I am aware that this is a blasphemy…
Track length10:01
While he was uttering these words…
Track length10:20
After M. de Norpois had gone…
Track length8:41
Meanwhile my father…
Track length10:01
Our visits ended…
Track length9:37
Meanwhile Gilberte never came…
Track length10:15
This 'marquise' warned me…
Track length10:03
I was often obliged, so that my grandmother…
Track length10:06
One day, after the postman had called…
Track length10:09
Thus at length I found my way…
Track length9:42
And she would make us go into the dining room…
Track length9:23
At such moments I should…
Track length9:38
The Swanns shared this eccentricity…
Track length10:33
Mme. Swann had, however…
Track length10:04
To return to the reasons…
Track length8:36
For these the Bontemps and Cottards…
Track length9:09
It was not only in those tea-parties…
Track length10:41
As a rule, however…
Track length10:32
If I did not understand the sonata…
Track length10:08
I expressed an intense desire…
Track length10:00
However it may be…
Track length10:33
We were standing a little way off…
Track length8:36
A favour still more precious…
Track length10:39
Meanwhile we had taken our places…
Track length10:22
These unintelligible words…
Track length10:15
Doubtless again…
Track length10:04
An intimate friend would furnish proofs…
Track length7:12
I let myself go in telling him…
Track length9:57
In Gilberte's eyes…
Track length9:57
And yet I ought perhaps…
Track length9:57
'I'll tell you who does need a good doctor…'
Track length9:59
My mother had not, indeed…
Track length9:58
A whole lot more of my aunt…
Track length10:00
One was to appear, alas, from a quarter…
Track length9:55
Grief that is caused one by a person…
Track length8:28
But this resumption of friendly relations…
Track length9:46
I was not unhappy…
Track length9:57
This kind of existence…
Track length10:14
'Aren't we to see anything of your delicious child?'
Track length9:32
Swann would accompany his wife to their annual evening…
Track length9:58
She relied upon Mme. Cottard…
Track length9:19
'When the Doctor gets a book in his hands, you know!'
Track length10:07
In consequence of the violence…
Track length9:50
Unfortunately certain persons…
Track length9:50
She used often to say…
Track length10:31
One felt that she did not dress simply…
Track length9:44
What helped me to remain patient…
Track length10:05
Meanwhile there was in me another force…
Track length10:36
Pending these posthumous fulfilments…
Track length10:12
The reason I now gave in my letters…
Track length9:03
But it was still more than I could endure…
Track length7:49
On her arrival…
Track length10:50
Place-Names: The Place
Track length9:25
Unhappily those marvellous places…
Track length9:39
For the first time…
Track length10:12
My grandmother, however…
Track length9:51
Presently there gathered behind…
Track length10:32
Certain names of towns…
Track length8:59
In the little train of the local railway…
Track length9:46
My sense of loneliness…
Track length10:32
She was wearing a loose cambric gown…
Track length9:51
For my judgment was aware…
Track length10:09
Imagining that I was…
Track length10:17
On the other hand…
Track length10:18
And at night they did not dine in the hotel…
Track length9:34
And then mere chance put into our hands…
Track length9:10
'But you were quite wrong, I assure you,' replied the barrister…
Track length7:59
But I was obliged to take my eyes…
Track length11:09
In the end we too formed…
Track length10:35
Were she to encounter Francoise…
Track length10:14
But on that previous morning…
Track length10:07
After this I would spend the mornings…
Track length10:21
Before getting into the carriage…
Track length9:56
Sometimes as the carriage laboured…
Track length7:44
It is possible, for I have never in real life met any girls…
Track length8:25
And this inner self of the charming…
Track length9:59
I watched the trees gradually withdraw…
Track length10:07
She found fault with Balzac…
Track length10:13
Even in Mme. de La Rochefoucauld's…
Track length9:56
He was coming from the beach…
Track length9:55
Indeed in Saint-Loup…
Track length10:09
If I had spent two or three hours…
Track length10:19
At his use of the word…
Track length8:42
Each of our friends has his defects…
Track length10:11
The same day, he contrived to see me alone…
Track length10:04
The uncle for whom we were waiting…
Track length10:01
He gave me the impression…
Track length10:26
I now recognised in the hard look…
Track length9:31
I had supposed that in thus inviting…
Track length9:54
'On the contrary,' he retorted…
Track length9:12
Meanwhile my grandmother…
Track length10:04
There was, then, embedded in my friend Bloch…
Track length11:01
M. Bloch told Saint-Loup and me that Bergotte knew so well…
Track length10:34
As a rule, after bringing out from his store…
Track length10:22
She had presently, with respect to Saint-Loup…
Track length10:29
It is true that he had succeeded in getting out of her…
Track length13:45
Seascape, with Frieze of Girls
Track length10:45
Just as if, in the heart of their band…
Track length12:29
And yet the supposition that I might some day be the friend…
Track length6:20
I could say to myself with conviction…
Track length9:18
I asked myself whether the girls I had just seen…
Track length10:13
But as often as not they were, indeed, only pictures…
Track length10:03
Unfortunately, having on that condition only obtained…
Track length9:08
The harmony of these astral tables did not prevent…
Track length9:28
Often, since even after dinner there was still a little light…
Track length9:50
He had, in fact, before he made the acquaintance of…
Track length9:54
Last night I had been nothing more than an empty vessel…
Track length4:56
Suddenly I thought of the fair girl with the sad expression…
Track length5:17
Since those days, so different from the day…
Track length10:54
And no doubt at first he had thought…
Track length9:57
How many observations, patient but not at all serene…
Track length9:48
Most of those that covered the walls…
Track length8:58
Although we are justified in saying that there can be…
Track length11:23
This vast celestial vision of which he spoke to me…
Track length11:00
I asked Elstir whether these girls lived at Balbec…
Track length11:58
At the foot of the picture was inscribed…
Track length6:08
One feels unmistakably, when one sees side by side…
Track length10:28
Night was falling…
Track length10:26
What did I know of Albertine?
Track length8:30
But apart from this, had the portrait been not anterior…
Track length8:47
He chose therefore, rather than say anything…
Track length10:15
I was afraid that this tone, this way of inviting a person…
Track length10:41
When I arrived at Elstir's a few minutes later…
Track length13:37
Moreover, if there had disappeared, provisionally at any rate…
Track length6:57
We formed that morning one of those couples…
Track length9:48
Having sacrificed this first moment to a custom…
Track length9:39
'Oh, so you know the little d'Ambresacs, do you?'
Track length9:00
At once kindled by her flame…
Track length9:29
Within the next few days…
Track length9:37
When the time came for her to go off to a luncheon party…
Track length10:09
In the old days I should have preferred…
Track length13:56
So that if before these visits to Elstir…
Track length5:13
Some days we took our refreshment…
Track length9:52
For the sense of boredom which it is impossible not to feel…
Track length10:10
All this I realised, and yet we talked so little.
Track length9:53
But in the days that followed…
Track length10:36
When there is added to this the agitation aroused…
Track length9:24
I was looking at Albertine, so pretty…
Track length9:43
Shewing herself always tenderly indulgent…
Track length7:02
Nor was it any longer the room…
Track length7:30
I tried to induce Elstir…
Track length6:06
'She's not written only to your father, either…'
Track length11:36
I had supposed that the love which I felt for Albertine…
Track length9:31
If this sort of select popularity…
Track length9:00
Taking first of all the supposition that she was…
Track length8:32
The misunderstanding, due to an initial mistake…
Track length9:00
So it was with Albertine as with her friends.
Track length8:28
No matter which it might be of my friends…
Track length8:04
Sometimes, however, the driving rain…
Track length8:54
My interest in Berma's acting…
Track length8:50
'Your friend M. de Vaugoubert…'
Track length9:48
'One thing, however,' M. de Norpois concluded…
Track length10:12
