Comments on: Book Notes: Who’s Who in Proust http://www.mcelhearn.com/2007/07/05/book-notes-whos-who-in-proust/ Writings about more than just Macs, by Kirk McElhearn Mon, 06 Feb 2012 22:24:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: tom harding http://www.mcelhearn.com/2007/07/05/book-notes-whos-who-in-proust/#comment-6532 tom harding Thu, 26 Aug 2010 00:19:01 +0000 http://www.mcelhearn.com/wordpress/?p=265#comment-6532 Perhaps you may be able to help me with an obscure topic. My ladyfriend is about to submit her masters thesis on an Irish 20C poet and is going quietly mad as she cannot explain a line that refers to Marcel Proust and 'splints'. I have a feeling it linked with Keats version of La Belle Dame sans Merci and some reference to the original 15C work quoted in Proust's 'A la recherche du temps perdu' but I cannot find it. Her obsession with explaining this one line is driving me mad and I am about to go away on a weeks Steam Engine Rally to Dorset in In England and don't have time to do the necessary research for her. If you could point in a worthwhile direction she then maysave her sanity and may searching in lost time. An impertinent request, I know, but I can't think of another angle. Yours most apologetically and gratefully if you deign to reply. My email is: bosuntom@hotmail.com Perhaps you may be able to help me with an obscure topic.
