Welcome to SpanishDict! "I really don't know" is an introduction to an indirect question so you can't use the auxiliary "does" . So it's "I really don't know what this sentence means" - rabbitwho, Jan 13, 2012

Why are you translating a book? Is English your first language? It's just you've used a lot of non-standard grammar in your question. I don't think translating is a good way to learn.

I would say it means "but it was always her, seeming to me more beautiful still for having lost her" in modern/simple English "but it was always her, she seemed even more beautiful because I had lost her"

Or it could be "because I was losing her", you'll probably know which from the rest of the story smile
