Patrick Suskind Quotes

This Scent Had A Freshness, But Not The Freshness Of Limes Or Pomegranates, Not The Freshness Of Myrrh Or Cinnamon Bark Or Curly Mint Or Birch Or Camphor Or Pine Needles, Not That Of A May Rain Or A Frosty Wind Or Of Well Water ... And At The Same Time It Had Warmth, But Not As Bergamot, Cypress, Or Musk Has, Or Jasmine Or Daffodils, Not As Rosewood Has Or Iris ... This Scent Was A Blend Of Both, Of Evanescence And Substance, Not A Blend, But A Unity, Although Slight And Frail As Well, And Yet Solid And Sustaining, Like A Piece Of Thin, Shimmering Silk ... And Yet Again Not Like Silk, But Like Pastry Soaked In Honey-sweet Milk - And Try As He Would He Couldn't Fit Those Two Together: Milk And Silk! This Scent Was Inconceivable, Indescribable, Could Not Be Categorized In Any Way - It Really Ought Not To Exist At All. And Yet There It Was As Plain And Splendid As Day.
