Fresh white magnolia blossoms and bright spring grass with lily of the valley, green mandarin and a sensual caress of musky vanilla.

Touch me, touch me,
Little cool grass fingers,
Elusive, delicate grass fingers.
With your shy brushings,
Touch my face -
My naked arms -
My thighs -
My feet.
Is there nothing that is kind?
You need not fear me.
Soon I shall be too far beneath you,
For you to reach me, even,
With your tiny timorous toes.

- Angelina Weld Grimké, 1927
