the sublime artist, whose genius Bergotte had proclaimed, might, by introducing me to something else that was, perhaps, as important and as beautiful, have consoled me for not having been to Florence and Venice, for not going to Balbec.
artista guztiz bikain hark behinik behin, Bergottek hain jeniotsu zeritzonak, kontsolatu egingo bainindukeen Florentzian eta Venezian izan ez izanaz, Balbecera joan ez izanaz, beharbada joran haiek bezain garrantzitsu edo eder zatekeèn beste zerbait erakutsiz.
