By the process of memory, Swann joined the fragments together, abolished the intervals between them, cast, as in molten gold, the image of an Odette compact of kindness and tranquillity, for whom he was to make, later on (as we shall see in the second part of this story) sacrifices which the other Odette would never have won from him.
Oroimenaren bidez, Swannek uztartu egiten zituen noizbehinkako uneok, berauen arteko tarte-uneak ezabatzen, eta arragoan bezala iragazten Odette urrezko bat, Odette onbera eta amultsu bat, zeinarentzat (obra honen bigarren partean ikusiko den bezala) beste Odette-ak sekula bereganatuko ez zituzkeèn hainbat sakrifizio burutuko baitzituen geroago Swannek.
