" Illustrating does not add anything to the understanding of a text. So I did not illustrate Un amour de Swann , I allowed myself to decorate the margins. To adorn. However, my pencil committed some infractions, a few allusions of a sanguine color: the splint of a violin, the curve of a dress, of a back, of hair, Charlus' theatrical cane. It was then that I saw myself, stage right, adding a pendulum back and forth - Time, is it not? A sort of primitive cartoon which, from one end of the work to the other, passes. "
