Four Senses On Avalon

"Wingless."

From a balcony of the tall stone tower housing the core families of the Weathermaker Choth, Nat Falkayn sees:

paved courtyard;

rambling wooden buildings;

grazing meat animals;

Terrestrial grass, clover, oak and pine;

Ythrian starbell, wry, braidbark and copperwood;

Avalonian susin (red), chasuble bushes (green), janie (blue) and draculas (leathery);

golden sun, Laura;

distant ocean;

sinking moon, Morgana.

 

He hears the wind murmuring, feels its coolness and smells leaves, distances and Thuriak.

 

(Distance has a distinctive smell in the Technic History. Much later in the History, clover is mentioned as having accompanied humanity from Old Earth.)
