I have a tshirt from my best aunt with an owl on it and the Greek phrase copied from the oracle at Delphi, the temple of Apollo, the idea of being blinded by the sun, the idea of being yourself can't happen unless you know who that is, so. The Perfume Society knows a drop of hemlock adds intrigue and depth in the smallest doses.
