The origin story of Odette and Swann is stuttering, indebted, I think, less to intimacy than aesthetics, or wider-ranging sociality-to the waltzing ridiculousness of the French salon. He isn't interested in her until he worries he can't have her; he situates art obiects like a kind of discursive screen between them, viewing her, early on, as a kind of manifestation of various tableaux: here, a general "Florentine painting"; there, Botticelli's Zipporah. ° The thrill of their romance becomes materially legible through musical overlays -Vintueil's "little phrase" is their particular, although not their sole, theme-and among the dead adornments of flowers: Odette's chrysanthemums engross Swann, and (more crucially) her cattleyas are the pregnant signifiers for his eager gropings of her in the dark of his carriage.
She feels a longing for and beholdenness to him until the point at which he's in her thrall. Is this not the monkey's paw of desire?-it may bloom and sustain itself in perpetual
