Starting something you couldn't finishFinnbar says: I used to know a guy who tattooed LOVE across his left knuckles, but didn't tattoo HATE on the other knuckles because he was right-handed and realised he couldn't finish. Ever run out of skills or inspiration halfway through a job?

In that......a madeleine is not a biscuit, or in that it's Proust banging on about biscuits rather than Swann, which is just the title of the book?
And surely a madeleine is a biscuit?

Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.Yes, it's the fact that it's not any of the Swanns, but the unnamed narrator who is plunged into reverie by the biscuit/cake.
I should also like to point out that I've only read to "The Prisoner" in "À la recherche du temps perdu", so this could be my "I started something I couldn't finish".

No need to apologise...I was just worried that I was going to be drawn into a biscuit argument.
Phew!

Fair enough. That would just be arguing over semantics.*mutters*
Though I would have said 'cake' actually, as they're tiny sponge cakes.
Actually.
/not serious.
