Yes, as Robin noted, "spoiler" isn't a good word to apply to the  
promise of the recurrence of enticing themes.


In persevering through a long, hard book, it's nice to know that what  
you read today isn't just of some passing interest but will relate  
directly to what you will be reading perhaps months and thousands of  
pages from now.

Thousands in the case of A la recherche . . . .
