Also, it seems very early, but last night I thought I smelled the sweet, haunting fragrance of Linden trees.

The moon is like a clean, fragrant body. Sound asleep, it gives off a seductive smell. A night is pressed on either side by two days. Between them all, the dark circles around your eyes stay joyful...
Stars move above the ten thousand doors...
It is not time that alters us,
it is space: the forest that was low as a dark
ribbon
round the evening when we were children.
And the water that came up to our feet.

Linden sap can be fermented into wine. I've never tried it myself, but you might!
