“Many people will disagree with what I have to say now, but I shall confine myself to those who have been, shall I say, unhappy enough to love passionately for many years, unrequitedly and against hopeless odds.”
----Gérard Genette, "Proust Palimpsest," Figures of Literary Discourse, p. 164
"Proust's work is a complete-incomplete work."
--Maurice Blanchot, "The Experience of Proust," in The Book to Come, p. 24.
Thus, not only is the Recherche, as Blanchot says, a "completed-incompleted" work, but its very reading is completed in completion, forever in suspense, forever "to be taken up again," since the object of that reading is constantly thrown into a dizzy rotation."
--Gérard Genette, "Proust Palimpsest," Figures of Literary Discourse, p. 222
Proust on the incompleteness of the work of art
“A work is never completed except by some accident such as weariness, […] the need to deliver, or death.”
--Paul Valéry

Our cat trying to break the fourth wall:
Covid Delta Variant Concerns and Reasons to Meet on Zoom: 1. Risks of getting it or transmitting it. 2. Meeting F2F means I would wear an N95 mask, so wouldn't be able to see my facial expressions, and I would not have a microphone in class, so you would have difficulty hearing me. 3. You can text message each other and me as well during class. 4. We live in Florida.
One in five hospital ICUs in the U.S. now has at least 95% of beds occupied, as the Delta variant fuels a surge of coronavirus cases. “Every single patient regrets not getting the vaccine,” he said. “I don’t have one that doesn’t. They look really sick, and they look really young. You can see somebody now talking to you, and the next time you see them, they’re dead.” NY Times August 17, 2021

William Wimsatt, "The Intentional Fallacy"
Lightnin' Hopkins - It's A Sin To Be Rich, It's A Low-Down Shame To Be Poor"One should never bear grudges against people, never judge them by the memory of one unkind act, for we can never know all the good resolves and effective actions of which their souls may have been capable at another time. And so, even from the simple point of view of foresight, we make mistakes. For no doubt the bad pattern we observed on that one occasion will recur. But the soul is richer than that, has many other patterns which will also recur in the same man, yet we refuse to take pleasure in them because of one piece of bad behavior in the past."

Learn French Pronunciation in 12 Minutes
Learn French Pronunciation in LESS than 12 Minutes
The best way to learn how to pronounce French is probably to listen to vocabulary words on a screen one at a time, repeat the words aloud, and then listen to them in sentences and repeat the sentence. You can go back and replay the word several times to practice pronouncing it. Even if you can't pronounce it, you'll know how it sounds.
200 MINUTES TO MASTER FRENCH PRONUNCIATION
Die Wand / The Wall (2015)
Proust and Genette: Both Are Brilliant and Humorous
To learn how to understand a music, a philosopher once said, you have to hear it twice.
A modern conductor of baroque music said you have to listen a piece of music several times in a row to understand it.
Repetition is key to learning.
"the greatest pieces of music are called classics simply because at a first hearing--that is terribly that is very complicated to work out what's going on or even more complicated to explain to yourself why it's going on--even to hear it has to be heard several times probably after first hearing immediately go back and hear it again, and on repeated hearings repreated things come to light."
Vienna and Schubert: 'Death and the Maiden' String Quartet - Professor Chris Hogwood CBE
"How full of meaning and significance the language of music is we see from the repetition of signs, as well as from the Da capo which would be intolerable in the case of works composed in the language of words. In music, however, they are very appropriate and beneficial; for to comprehend it fully, we must hear it twice."
--Arthur Schopenhauer, "On the Metaphysics of Music"

"Mighty Ira," a documentary about legendary former ACLU chief Ira Glasser
A favorite talking point of establishment, so-called progressives who support de-platforming and social media censorship by Silicon Valley tech giants is "free speech doesn't mean speech free from consequences." That is a typically vague, but also threatening neoliberal content free statement. What consequences follow from exercising your First Amendment right to free speech other than more speech? Doxxing? Getting fired from your job? If you are against free speech, that is your right. But the consequence is that I will think you are really dumb. And ignorant. And morally under-developed. And figure that you are probably white. Ditto if you are against due process. The First Amendment protects minorities and those with minority opinions from being de-platformed and censored. "Hate speech," otherwise known as "speech I don't like," is constitutionally protected speech. Guess what happens to Palestinian student activists if they organize a boycott of Israel. The Fifth Amendment guarantees due process, meaning someone is presumed innocent until proven guilty. Guess how many black men have been falsely accused and convicted of raping a white woman only to be exonerated decades later because DNA evidence proved their innocence. Have you ever seen To Kill a Mockingbird? Guess how many people convicted of murder and then executed were posthumously exonerated. Guess how many black people have been lynched. Google it. Educate yourself. Know your civil liberties. Don't be dumb, be a smartie. Universal Rights protect racial and sexual minorities. "Representation," perhaps the most cynical notion of politics ever to emerge from the elites in the history of the United States, does not. The National Security State wants you identitification papers. Authoritarianism, censorship, Big Tech demonitization and deplatforming of social media, policing who can say what where, the pre-school politics of twitter are antithetical to the thought and imaginative freedom which creating literature involves.
Summing up Swann's Way
Insomnia
Madeline in tea (involuntary memory)
Uncle Antoine and the Lady in Pink
pink hawthornes
Legrandin
church steeples from carriage of Porcipied
Duchess de Guermantes inside the church
Mlle Vinteuil and unnamed woman spitting on M. Vinteuil's photograph and then having sex in Montjouvain.
The girl by a tree in the distance the narrator will never see again
The phrase from the Vinteuil sonata
Cambremer joke
Involuntary memories in Finding Time Again:
Feeling of a cobble stone street
Sound of a knife on a plate
a dry napkin
Proust's synopsis; Terence Kilmartin's synopsis; Patrick Alexander's Synopsis; The Essential Remembrance of Things Past (abridged audio-recording with musical selections)
We will proceed by reading selections from each novel after Swann's Way in chronological, the selections having some relation to the previous novels. So as we read, we will be recalling and calling up passages we may remember or have forgotten. You can fill in what happens in the parts we are skipping by using Proust's own synopses or Kilmartin's or Alexander's Synopses.
Our reading of the Search will be interrupted from time to time by readings from Genette and other important readings related to the novel and narrative.
In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower (Within a Buddding Grove)--skipping "Around Odette's House" and going directly to "Place-Names: The Places"
Place Names: the Place
Train to Balbec / the milkmaid

Françoise killing the "filthy" chicken; her jealousy of Eulalie (anticiaptes her jealousy of Albertine in The Prisoner)
Death of Aunt Leonie;
La Berma and Norpois

The page boy and the "Lift"
La Berma
Rachel at the theater and in the theater on stage; Sant-Loup's violent jeaulosy; the pear tree blossoms
The grandmother's stroke on hte Camps Elysee
Grandmother's death
The Lady in Pink is revealed to be Odette
The narrator getting stuck in the revolving door of a restaurant, dines with Saint-Loup
Swann dying and Madame de Guermante's red shoes.
Sodom and Gomorrah / Cities of the Plain
Charlus and Jupien; flowers and insects
Intermittencies of the Heart (or "Interruptions of the Heart")--involuntary memory
The joke about the name Cambremer sounding like "camembert" finally spelled out.
The "Lift"
The narrator's realization that he will never find the girl he desired.
The grandmother's birthday present to the narrator of both French translations of the 1,001 Nights.
The woman who spit on M. Vinteuil's photograph turns out to be Albertine.
The beginning of Chapter Three-sleep and the immortality of the soul
The train ride
The ending--Mlle Vinteuil and Albertine; the mother resembling the grandmother; the image of the narrator's love never coincides with any of his mistresses.
The narator gives himself a name, Marcel.
The sound and music of the working class the narrator hearsin the mornings
Jealousy--infinite non-knowing. Working Class Girls. Albertine's presence prevents him from ever knowing / seducing them.
Swann's Death

RECOMMENDED READING
Remembering Reading and Rereading
Digressions on memory and time in the Search
We will follow a few of Roger Shattuck's recomendations:
The author and the work of art Vinteuil Septet and Bergotte's Death in The Prisoner; Le Figaro in The Fugitive
Swann in Love (200 pages) Genette Proust and Metonymy; Proust and Indirect Style
Combray (145 pages) Paul de Man Reading (Proust)
Place-Names: the Name (45 pages)
Pages 113-123 of Swann's Way
"Indespensable to a stockbroker," in Marcel Proust, Swann's Way, (Davis, p. 102)
Read up through the words "lasting form assumed by cruelty," in Marcel Proust, Swann's Way, (Davis, 169)
Read up through the words "landscape we are about to leave forever," in Marcel Proust, Swann's Way, (Davis, p. 242)
"Swann was never mentioned again," in Marcel Proust, Swann's Way, (Davis, p. 300)
Marcel Proust, Swann in Love, from Swann's Way
Read up through the words "since the table turning," in Marcel Proust, Swann's Way, (Davis, p. 366)
Read up through the words "was not my type," in Marcel Proust, Swann's Way, (Davis, p. 396)
Read until the end of the novel: "They were only a thin slice among contiguous impressions which formed our life at the time; the memory of a certain image is but regret for a certain moment; and houses, roads, and avenues are as fleeting, alas, as the years." (Davis, p. 444)

ticket and does not board the plane. Cross cutting as Dom runs back to the boarding gate. Music Carly Rae Jepsen "Run Away

So students. You already know how to read by genre. Happy ending--or

BOOK TWELFTH
IMAGINATION AND TASTE, HOW IMPAIRED AND RESTORED
There are in our existence spots of time,
That with distinct pre-eminence retain
A renovating virtue, whence--depressed 210
By false opinion and contentious thought,
Or aught of heavier or more deadly weight,
In trivial occupations, and the round
Of ordinary intercourse--our minds
Are nourished and invisibly repaired;
A virtue, by which pleasure is enhanced,
That penetrates, enables us to mount,
When high, more high, and lifts us up when fallen.
I remember well,
That once, while yet my inexperienced hand
Could scarcely hold a bridle, with proud hopes
I mounted, and we journeyed towards the hills:
An ancient servant of my father's house
Was with me, my encourager and guide: 230
We had not travelled long, ere some mischance
Disjoined me from my comrade; and, through fear
Dismounting, down the rough and stony moor
I led my horse, and, stumbling on, at length
Came to a bottom, where in former times
A murderer had been hung in iron chains.
The gibbet-mast had mouldered down, the bones
And iron case were gone; but on the turf,
Hard by, soon after that fell deed was wrought,
Some unknown hand had carved the murderer's name. 240
The monumental letters were inscribed
In times long past; but still, from year to year
By superstition of the neighbourhood,
The grass is cleared away, and to this hour
The characters are fresh and visible:
A casual glance had shown them, and I fled,
Faltering and faint, and ignorant of the road:
Then, reascending the bare common, saw
A naked pool that lay beneath the hills,
The beacon on the summit, and, more near, 250
A girl, who bore a pitcher on her head,
And seemed with difficult steps to force her way
Against the blowing wind.

Gabbard is incredibly poised and strong, calling out the smearing of her and other leftists as it happens in real time, face to face. Bizarrely, it now appears that a woman from the military who actully thinks rationally about foreign interventions and regime changes would make a better than the militarized chickenhawk civilians now running the country.
