Swann's Way – Remembrance Of Things Past

Track length10:39

$3.00

$3.85

The stiffened side underneath my body would…

Track length9:37

$2.00

$2.60

Riding at a jerky trot…

Track length10:13

$3.00

$3.85

My sole consolation…

Track length8:47

$2.00

$2.60

Our utter ignorance…

Track length9:44

$2.00

$2.60

In the end…

Track length9:49

$2.00

$2.60

But we sat silent.

Track length10:14

$3.00

$3.85

I do not agree with you…

Track length9:58

$2.00

$2.60

In this particular instance…

Track length10:42

$3.00

$3.85

Noiselessly I opened the window…

Track length10:06

$3.00

$3.85

I was not, however.

Track length11:30

$3.00

$3.85

'My dear,' she had said to Mamma…

Track length10:53

$3.00

$3.85

And so it was that…

Track length7:25

$2.00

$2.60

And I begin again to ask myself…

Track length7:31

$2.00

$2.60

COMBRAY

Track length11:13

$3.00

$3.85

That rosy candlelight…

Track length9:56

$2.00

$2.60

'Oh dear, dear; the poor little creature!'

Track length9:34

$2.00

$2.60

While my aunt gossiped on in this way…

Track length10:54

$3.00

$3.85

The church!

Track length6:33

$1.00

$1.30

It was the steeple…

Track length7:54

$2.00

$2.60

On our way home from mass…

Track length9:39

$2.00

$2.60

And since, besides this…

Track length9:24

$2.00

$2.60

Every morning I would hasten…

Track length7:39

$2.00

$2.60

On the table was the same plate…

Track length7:50

$2.00

$2.60

I had not the least idea…

Track length9:51

$2.00

$2.60

But in later years…

Track length10:12

$3.00

$3.85

The novelist's happy discovery…

Track length9:22

$2.00

$2.60

Sometimes I would be torn from my book…

Track length9:34

$2.00

$2.60

Before seeing them…

Track length9:48

$2.00

$2.60

I was by no means Bergotte's sole admirer…

Track length9:23

$2.00

$2.60

I dared not accept such an offer…

Track length10:06

$3.00

$3.85

While I was reading in the garden…

Track length9:56

$2.00

$2.60

'Look at Roussainville,'…

Track length9:29

$2.00

$2.60

Francoise was avaricious…

Track length8:29

$2.00

$2.60

When I say that…

Track length10:24

$3.00

$3.85

His one and only passion…

Track length9:18

$2.00

$2.60

She was genuinely fond of us…

Track length8:37

$2.00

$2.60

One Sunday, when my aunt…

Track length9:29

$2.00

$2.60

I crept out of the kitchen…

Track length10:36

$3.00

$3.85

Just as we reached the house…

Track length10:36

$3.00

$3.85

Of course he would never have admitted…

Track length11:39

$3.00

$3.85

That land which knows not truth…

Track length2:43

$1.00

$1.30

We used always to return…

Track length7:03

$2.00

$2.60

When we had decided to go…

Track length9:25

$2.00

$2.60

But it was in vain…

Track length10:48

$3.00

$3.85

'Gilberte, come along; what are you doing?'

Track length10:16

$3.00

$3.85

That year my family…

Track length9:00

$2.00

$2.60

Anyone who, like ourselves…

Track length8:50

$2.00

$2.60

Often, too, we would hurry…

Track length9:16

$2.00

$2.60

During that autumn my parents…

Track length11:24

$3.00

$3.85

That girl whom I never saw…

Track length7:24

$2.00

$2.60

She was in deep mourning…

Track length8:23

$2.00

$2.60

I remembered the words…

Track length9:28

$2.00

$2.60

If the 'Meseglise way' was so easy…

Track length10:30

$3.00

$3.85

Presently the course of the Vivonne…

Track length10:10

$3.00

$3.85

And I knew that they bore not only the titles…

Track length10:01

$3.00

$3.85

'It is, it must be Mme de Guermantes, and no one else!'

Track length9:59

$2.00

$2.60

How often, after that day…

Track length9:25

$2.00

$2.60

Alone, rising from the level…

Track length2:49

$1.00

$1.30

I never thought again of this page…

Track length7:37

$2.00

$2.60

The 'Meseglise way' with its lilacs...

Track length8:17

$2.00

$2.60

Swann in Love

Track length10:53

$3.00

$3.85

Just as it is not by other men…

Track length10:51

$3.00

$3.85

But while each of these attachments…

Track length9:15

$2.00

$2.60

He had sought an excuse…

Track length10:00

$3.00

$3.85

When Mme Verdurin had announced…

Track length11:01

$3.00

$3.85

From this lofty perch…

Track length11:25

$3.00

$3.85

But the notes themselves…

Track length9:49

$2.00

$2.60

The young pianist bent over her…

Track length9:27

$2.00

$2.60

Greatly to Mme Verdurin's surprise…

Track length9:30

$2.00

$2.60

But little did that matter to him…

Track length10:03

$3.00

$3.85

And these affectations were in sharp contrast…

Track length10:29

$3.00

$3.85

And when he was tempted…

Track length10:35

$3.00

$3.85

Verdurins's…

Track length9:33

$2.00

$2.60

Swann made Remi drive him…

Track length9:59

$2.00

$2.60

However disillusioned we may be about women…

Track length9:56

$2.00

$2.60

And the pleasure which the music gave him…

Track length10:04

$3.00

$3.85

But, once in a while…

Track length10:51

$3.00

$3.85

Swann made no attempt…

Track length9:49

$2.00

$2.60

This charm of drawing him closer to her…

Track length8:31

$2.00

$2.60

He might have reminded himself…

Track length9:58

$2.00

$2.60

'Who is that gentleman?'

Track length9:52

$2.00

$2.60

'It's not a Japanese salad, is it?'

Track length10:10

$3.00

$3.85

She could scarcely have expected…

Track length10:10

$3.00

$3.85

M. Verdurin had been wiser…

Track length10:01

$3.00

$3.85

There are certain original…

Track length10:24

$3.00

$3.85

If he were dining out…

Track length10:44

$3.00

$3.85

And yet he was not sorry…

Track length9:41

$2.00

$2.60

But then, at once, his jealousy…

Track length10:08

$3.00

$3.85

Swann had, in fact…

Track length9:14

$2.00

$2.60

In spite of all these manoeuvres…

Track length7:38

$2.00

$2.60

At last the carriages were ordered.

Track length7:01

$2.00

$2.60

He could see the pianist…

Track length6:37

$1.00

$1.30

And so that drawing-room…

Track length10:08

$3.00

$3.85

But when she had set off for Dreux…

Track length10:14

$3.00

$3.85

But the thought of his absent mistress…

Track length10:08

$3.00

$3.85

Ah! Had fate but allowed him…

Track length10:15

$3.00

$3.85

Now that, after this swing…

Track length8:50

$2.00

$2.60

But at other times…

Track length7:17

$2.00

$2.60

Certainly, of the extent of this love…

Track length8:21

$2.00

$2.60

But most of all…

Track length10:18

$3.00

$3.85

There she was, often tired…

Track length9:57

$2.00

$2.60

And yet he would have wished…

Track length10:01

$3.00

$3.85

One day she announced…

Track length8:55

$2.00

$2.60

A few feet away…

Track length9:52

$2.00

$2.60

The Marquis de Forestelle's monocle…

Track length9:14

$2.00

$2.60

At this moment…

Track length10:02

$3.00

$3.85

She seemed not so much to be issuing an invitation…

Track length9:51

$2.00

$2.60

'Oh, but Cambremer is quite a good name; old, too,'…

Track length9:52

$2.00

$2.60

Swann, who was accustomed…

Track length9:51

$2.00

$2.60

Meanwhile the concert had begun again…

Track length9:36

$2.00

$2.60

As though the musicians…

Track length9:41

$2.00

$2.60

So Swann was not mistaken in believing…

Track length10:02

$3.00

$3.85

One night he dreamed that he was going away for a year…

Track length9:47

$2.00

$2.60

The Prince des Laumes…

Track length9:58

$2.00

$2.60

One day, after the longest period…

Track length9:52

$2.00

$2.60

Instinctively Swann thought of the remark…

Track length10:31

$3.00

$3.85

But he could not confine himself…

Track length9:52

$2.00

$2.60

Besides, her very admissions…

Track length10:57

$3.00

$3.85

The painter having been ill…

Track length8:33

$2.00

$2.60

And Mme Cottard withdrew…

Track length8:07

$2.00

$2.60

The painter remarked to Swann…

Track length8:10

$2.00

$2.60

Place-Names: The Name

Track length11:22

$3.00

$3.85

But soon it happened that…

Track length10:30

$3.00

$3.85

Even from the simplest…

Track length11:17

$3.00

$3.85

One day, as I was weary of our usual place…

Track length10:04

$3.00

$3.85

Only, near the grass…

Track length9:55

$2.00

$2.60

But when she had set off for Dreux…

Track length9:07

$2.00

$2.60

But at that actual moment…

Track length8:10

$2.00

$2.60

Everything that concerned them…

Track length8:23

$2.00

$2.60

While I waited I read over again…

Track length9:11

$2.00

$2.60

I had always, within reach…

Track length6:57

$1.00

$1.30

'One isn't obliged to ask everyone to one's house…'

Track length6:06

$1.00

$1.30

But most often of all…

Track length5:09

$1.00

$1.30

But instead of simplicity…

Track length7:35

$2.00

$2.60

That sense of the complexity…

Track length10:23

$3.00

$3.85

Alas! There was nothing now but motor-cars…

Track length9:11
