Much to the amusement of the footmen and chauffeurs gathered around the front door of the mansion, Marcel deliberately stumbles about in the courtyard, trying to re-create the experience of stepping on the uneven paving stones.

Every time that I merely repeated this physical movement, I achieved nothing; but if I succeeded, forgetting the Guermantes party, in recapturing what I had felt when I first placed my feet on the ground in this way, again the dazzling and indistinct vision fluttered near me as if to say: “Seize me as I pass if you can, and try to solve the riddle of happiness which I set you.” And almost at once I recognized the vision: it was Venice.
