An exquisite poignancy of salt and skin, crushed nicotania flowers, purple irises, Oregon Grape leaves, bitter orange, silver needle tea, guiacwood, weeping cypress, Isatis bark, and a sweet immolation of cloves.
"Now no joy but lacks salt,
That is not dashed with pain
And weariness and fault
I crave the stain
Of tears, the aftermark
Of almost too much love,
The sweet of bitter bark
And burning clove."
- Robert Frost
