Four Senses In The Jungle

For Love And Glory.

Lissa and Hebo track the missing Susaian, Orichalc, through the Freydisan jungle, an environment providing much scope for multi-sensory descriptions:

gloom;
rank odors;
sticky sweat, both felt and smelled;
"Cries, croaks, whistles..." (XXXVI, p. 197)

"Rain rushed, wind brawled, branches creaked." (XXXVII, p. 201)

Compare "Rain Roared."

What with meditating and all, I usually avoid alcohol but this evening we received a free bottle of wine when we ate in the Borough:

I HAVE drunk ale from the Country of the Young
-copied from here.

Have I not drunk Soma?
-copied from here.

"In the secret high place of the heart there are two beings who drink the wine of life in the world of truth."
-Katha Upanishad, Part 3.
