But in my dreams of Combray (like those architects, pupils of Viollet-le-Duc, who, fancying that they can detect, beneath a Renaissance rood-loft and an eighteenth-century altar, traces of a Norman choir, restore the whole church to the state in which it probably was in the twelfth century) I leave not a stone of the modern edifice standing, I pierce through it and 'restore' the Rue des Perchamps.
mendeko aldare batean koru erromaniko baten arrastoak kausitu uste dituztelakoan, eraikin osoa XII. mendean egon behar omen zukeèn modura berrantolatzen baitute), nire amets-aireak ere, diot, ez du harri bat bera ere zutik uzten eraikin berritik, berrinduskatu eta "berrezarri" egiten baitu Perchamps kale hura.
