I.83

legendary ones--

a fairy-haunted valley

in the flow of Time

I.82

filing in

below the tapestries:

Guermantes lady

I.81

on a gloomy day,

the windows still radiant--

cakes on a pew

I.80

church's porch

a colander of holes--

noble dust

I.79

whose dog?

but it must be Galopin's.

quite gentlemanly!

I.78

strangers in Combray?!

Not known from Adam?

Ahhh, but merely...

I.77

a keen pretense--

creamed eggs on a flat plate,

a duty served

I.76

mysterious girl,

focus of speculation,

passes with lunch tart

I.75

Mme Octave

gossiped and feared--

Françoise lamented

I.74

on request,

(late sisters, asparagus),

Françoise opines

I.73

X-ray perception--

overwhelmed by attention

she took her leave

I.72

In the novelty,

Françoise welcomed our visits--

still mourning

I.71

mysterious saint of youth--

always serving

I.70

tisane infused

the madeleine softens--

windowside reading

I.69

preparing tisane,

delighted in finding

sprigs of real lime trees

I.68

aunt talks alone

to keep herself functioning,

a new reality
