Thanks, Nick. That's what I really meant!

They all mean the same thing though really! :)

I emailed Antoine Campagnon; if you'd like a copy, send me your email address from the "Contact Us" sub menu of my website, www.catskill-merino.com; complementing him on curating an exemplary exhibition at the Morgan, for his recent informative lectures at Le Collège de France: Proust in 1913 and asking him how he reads the final utterance of Un Amour de Swann.

If he responds, I will summarize what he says.

I'm sure Marcelita posted the URL for Antoine Campagnon's lectures Proust in 1913 (dubbed in English) but here it is again http://www.college-de-france.fr/site/...

I am going to NYC on buisness in April and plan to see the Proust Exhbit at the Morgan Library. Has anyone been there yet?

John, at least Eugene and Marcelita have gone to the exhibit and posted about it.. I suggest you search for their Comment History (by pointing at their name in any of their entries the field to take you to this will appear).

My sense is that it is worthwhile to go, and also, if you have the time, the exhibit at the Met, where, as Eugene has told us, the Tissot group portrait The circle of the Rue Royale with Charles Haas is shown.

John, would you be willing to share the dates you will be in NYC?

Thanks, Eugene, for being our Ambassador!
I visited The Morgan again yesterday, with a Californian Proustian. She loved seeing the word "biscotte" written in the Cahier 25. (Interesting Wagner connection on another post.)

Did you know that AC will be one of the presenters at Harvard University's Interdisciplinary Conference, April 19 and 20th?

This post should probably be in The Lounge...

Kalliope...after all these months we ordered Vatel from Netflix and watched it last night. What a tragic tale and a breathtaking visual feast. Truly...thank you.
