- ↑ On the subject of the fortifications of Liège, see the allusion that Anna de Noailles makes to them in her telegram of Monday [26 May 1919] (CP 03786, note 3; cf. Kolb, XVIII, no. 105) to which Proust is replying here. But whereas her correspondence stresses their "heroic" resistance, Proust underlines more pertinently here the point at which these fortifications had become redundant in the First World War, in which aerial was first pioneered.
