I studied 'A La Recherche du Temps Perdu' in French Stage 3 at Victoria, Wellington. The professor was painstaking and brilliant on Proust. I therefore read most of the novel's volumes, in French or English translation, and liked them. I think that Proust's title is just right, and you brilliantly show the steps by which he could have reached it.

' To the Search For Lost Time' is a good, original title, though not a literal translation. Sill a very good poem here.
