this may be a little overdue, but i have no other way of outing my feelings. i need to know, WHO was that mysterious man, smelling his rose in the harris lecture theatre. this is not an innuendo, by the way — he brought an ACTUAL rose to his nose and sniff-sniffed away, the whole collection long. i was speechless, and actually failed this collection as i did not manage to put a single word on inspera. if only i had a rose of my own to be smelling, but alas, i could only take my inspiration from the back of your head. the sound of your sniff did something to me. and i have to know, what is the word?
