Time Regained by Marcel Proust

Let's discuss pages 221-239 in the Carter edition of Time Regained.

In other editions - please read from the line -

“Certain people, whose minds are prone to mystery, like to believe that objects retain something of the eyes that have looked at them, that old monuments and paintings appear to us not as they originally were but beneath a perceptible veil woven for them over the centuries by the love and contemplation of millions of ad-mirers. This fantasy, if you transpose it into the domain of what is for each one of us the sole reality, the domain of his own sensibility, becomes the truth.”

to the line-
"...my whole life up to the present day might and yet might not have been summed up under the title: A Vocation"
