When, before turning to leave the church, I made a genuflection before the altar, I felt suddenly, as I rose again, a bitter-sweet fragrance of almonds steal towards me from the hawthorn-blossom, and I then noticed that on the flowers themselves were little spots of a creamier colour, in which I imagined that this fragrance must lie concealed, as the taste of an almond cake lay in the burned parts, or the sweetness of Mlle. Vinteuil's cheeks beneath their freckles.
Elizatik irtetera gindoazela, aldare aurrean belaunikatu nintzenean, behingoan sumatu nuen, atzera zutitzerakoan, almendrazko urrin mikatz eta gozo bat, elorri zuriei zeriena, eta orduan erreparatu ere bai loreen gainean bazirela puntu ttipi horailago batzuk, eta pentsatu ezen haien azpian egon behar zuela ostendurik urrin hark, hala nola behar zuen pantxineta baten dastak ere bere azal gainerrearen azpian edota bere orezta gorrizten azpian Vinteuil andereñoaren masailenak.
