For Marcel and for Voegelin, a landmark is the nexus of association: Marcel's is the church of his native town Combray with its steeple, reference point of all perspectives for the rest of his life, the axis of consciousness needing no madeleine to evoke it; Voegelin's is the Rhine, his Heraclitean river, where he lived between ages four and nine. In the opening chapter of Combray, Marcel Proust describes how the protagonist wakes up in his bed and gradually reconstructs his world on the basis of 'the memory of the sides, knees and shoulders'. |
