AROMA - GENERA: HUMAN PERSONALITIES OF ESSENTIAL OILS

'The whole earth is a thimble heaped with incense, afire with the divine, yet not consumed.

This is the most spiritual of earth's joys - too subtle for analysis, mysteriously connected with light and with whiteness, for white flowers are the sweetest - yet it penetrates the physical being to its depths.

Here is a symbol of the material value of spiritual things.

If we washed out our souls in these healing perfumes a often as we washed our hands, our lives would be infinitely more wholesome.'

Mary Webb - The Joy of Perfume
