He added that he had thought of taking a flat in one of them, but that he had changed his mind, finding that they were not conveniently arranged, and that the landings were too dark. So he said; but I felt instinctively that my mind must make the sacrifices necessary to the glory of the Swanns and to my own happiness, and by a stroke of internal authority, in spite of what I had just heard, I banished for ever from my memory, as a good Catholic banishes Renan’s Vie de Jésus, the destroying thought that their house was just an ordinary flat in which we ourselves might have been living.

Il ajouta qu’il avait voulu louer dans l’une d’elles, mais qu’il y avait renoncé, ne les trouvant pas commodes et l’entrée pas assez claire; il le dit; mais je sentis instinctivement que mon esprit devait faire au prestige des Swann et à mon bonheur les sacrifices nécessaires, et par un coup d’autorité intérieure, malgré ce que je venais d’entendre, j’écartai à tout jamais de moi, comme un dévot la Vie de Jésus de Renan, la pensée dissolvante que leur appartement était un appartement quelconque que nous aurions pu habiter.
