Marcel Proust to Léon Hennique [shortly after 11 December 1919]
(Click on the link above to see this letter and its notes in the Corr-Proust digital edition, including all relevant hyperlinks.)
44 rue Hamelin
Sir
I know that you were not a friend of my books, the paper l’Eclair didn’t hide that[2]. But as this in no way prevents me from being an admirer of yours, I was very happy to find your signature at the bottom of the letter with which the Académie Goncourt has kindly honored me. I take this probably unique opportunity to tell you that the magnificent translation that Mademoiselle Hennique has made of Hardy's La Bien Aimée[3] has often been a fruitful company for me in my life of physical and moral suffering. Often I imagine myself, in thought, on the Island which resounds of the noise of the quarrymen[4].
Please Sir, accept the expression of my most sincerest regards
Marcel Proust
