"Oh," she said, "if it's half-past two I might think of coming down for a moment to look at my roses.... Thank you, Mr. Hamil, I can see my way very clearly. I can usually see my own way clearly without the aid of your too readily offered hand.... Did you ever dream of such an exquisitely hot night! That means rain, doesn't it? with so many fragrances mingling?
For me she had become fire and dew, flame of the sun, and flower of the hill. Without me to help her do it she could not leave me. To the master of matter this coping with spiritual abstractions must appear like juggling with intellectual phantasmagoria. Yet I protest that life is finally for intangible triumphs. Unnamed fragrances steal upon the senses and the soul revels and greatens.
Jean's hair was molten gold, her lover's pale silver as with bare heads, having passed the city limits, they took the open road. It was as warm as summer, and there were fragrances which seemed to wash over them in waves as they passed old gardens and old orchards.
Her softly rounded face, its very pallor, the curve and colour of her lips, her luminous dark eyes, the smooth modulations of her voice, and then her loose abundance of black hair, and the swelling lines of her breast, the fluent contour of her waist and hips, under the fine black cloth of her dress all these, with the silence of the forest, the heat of the southern day, the woodland fragrances of which the air was full, and the sense of being intimately alone with her, set up within him a turbulent vibration, half of delight, half of pained suspense.
There, possibly, amid those emotions gradually approaching a Dionysiac frenzy, was the logical Mecca of her long pilgrimage, the end of all this hunger for sensuous reactions for the pleasures that came from strange fragrances and harmonies, from contacts with precious fabrics and the patina of perfect porcelains, from the perception of matchless color in painted canvas and gems, or from the grace that was fluent in the moving bodies of human beings and beasts?
The scent of the box seemed fairly to clamor over the garden fence, drowning out the smaller fragrances of the flowers, like the clamor of a mob. Even the sweetness of the mignonette was faintly perceived. "How strong the box is," said Ellen, imperceptibly shrinking a little from Robert.
Not a sound broke the stillness, yet the very air, it seemed to them, was shedding meanings: the flowers were exhaling a love secret with their fragrances, the birds were singing it boldly from the tree-tops, yet no word passed the man's lips or the girl's.
"I don't mind the purchase you made for your friends, but the purchase of heliotrope is really too cynical." "Cynical! Why is it cynical?" "Because, dear, it is evocative of you, of that slender body moving among fragrances of scented cambrics, and breathing its own dear odour as I come forward to greet you. Why do you seek to torment me?" "But, dear one "

Then here and there, about the dimmining circle of firelight, he heard the soft rustle of little feet, the subdued crack of a twig or the scratch of a dead leaf. The forest smells of which there is no category in heaven or earth reached him with incredible clarity. These were faint, vaguely exciting smells, some of them the exquisite fragrances of summer flowers, others beyond his ken.
