“I can't let them go, those days of summer gone.”
― Joe Bolton, The Last Nostalgia: Poems 1982-1990

“A smell is, after all, a violation of oxygen balance, an invasion into it of other elements--methane? carbon? sulphur? nitrogen? Depending on that invasion's intensity, you get a scent, a smell, a stench. It is a molecular affair, and happiness, I suppose, is the moment of spotting the elements of your own composition being free. There were quite a number of them out there, in a state of total freedom, and I felt I'd stepped into my own self-portrait in the cold air.”
― Joseph Brodsky, Watermark
