Seems he is done with Balbec and Albertine now. The morning sun (or is it afternoon?) reveals something less wonderful than the previous days recorded splendors, and is likened to a gold wrapped mummy. The magic is gone.

Enjoying this reading much more this time around. I've discovered this just isn't an adventure from his youth. It's a review and a weighing what happened along the way. Currently anyway. That may change, but for now...

onto volume 3 👍

He's visiting with Elstir now after several pages of acclimating to Balbec. Some interesting digressions into art. Apparently a couple of years have passed as his more mature desires drive much of the action now.
