"Rachel, quand du Seigneur la grâce tutélaire" = in English this means "Rachel, When the Grace of the Lord Entrusted Thee to Me"
Marcel Proust makes many references to the aria in his work. The character Bloch, who is Jewish, inspires the narrator's grandfather to hum melodies from this opera.
The mistress of Saint-Loup is named Rachel, but her names is often given as "Rachel, when from the Lord" (again, this shows the influence of the opera on Proust).
