Quoting Proust

October 23, 2009 7:37 AM

Looking for a Marcel Proust quote in the original French.

“Love is space and time directly perceptible to the heart” is what my copy of Auden's Book of Aphorisms says, but I want to know know what Proust originally wrote. Googling around I can find that it's from The Captive (La Prisonnière), and I can do a machine translation, but I'd rather know the original French.

And to help the next guy like me with poor google-fu, here's the quote:

"L'amour, c'est l'espace et le temps rendus sensibles au cœur."
