Taproots Perfume

A cultural fusion of lemonwood, amber aldehydes, santal, agarwood, Cocobolo wood, Caribbean nutmeg, fevergrass, Spanish moss, dark oakmoss, and Haitian vetiver.Give me truths;For I am weary of the surfaces,And die of inanition.If I knewOnly the herbs and simples of the wood,Rue, cinquefoil, gill, vervain and agrimony,Blue-vetch and trillium, hawkweed, sassafras,Milkweeds and murky brakes, quaint pipes and sun-dew,And rare and virtuous roots, which in these woodsDraw untold juices from the common earth,Untold, unknown, and I could surely spellTheir fragrance, and their chemistry applyBy sweet affinities to human flesh,Driving the foe and stablishing the friend,--O, that were much, and I could be a partOf the round day, related to the sunAnd planted world, and full executorOf their imperfect functions.- Ralph Waldo EmersonArt: Worldroot by Martin Bridge, 2020
