13/04/2010 - An Floral Quote to Excite
"A flower's fragrance declares to all the world that it is fertile, available, and desirable, its sex organs oozing with nectar.Its smell reminds us in vestigial ways of fertility, vigor, life-force, all the optimism, expectancy, and passionate bloom of youth.
We inhale its ardent aroma and, no matter what our ages, we feel young and nubile in a world aflame with desire."
Diane Ackerman, A Natural History of the Senses, 1990, p. 13
