“The scent organ was playing a delightfully refreshing Herbal Capriccio - rippling arpeggios of thyme and lavender, of rosemary, basil, myrtle, tarragon; a series of daring modulations through the spice keys into ambergris; and a slow return through sandalwood, camphor, cedar and newmown hay (with occasional subtle touches of discord - a whiff of kidney pudding, the faintest suspicion of pig's dung) back to the simple aromatics with which the piece began. The final blast of thyme died away; there was a round of applause; the lights went up.” LightSimplePiecesKeysReturnDiedSeriesFinalsRoundsSubtleCulinaryDaringOrgansSuspicionPigsScentOccasionalApplauseSpicesBlastRefreshingDiscordKidneysPuddingHayLavenderCedarsRosemaryMyrtleBasilThymeSandalwood Book:The Collected Works of Aldous Huxley: Brave new world Source: The Collected Works of Aldous Huxley: Brave new world

For me, theater is very, very important in keeping things fresh and dangerous.” ThinkingWayTryingI CanImportantActorsTermPiecesStageDangerousReturnPeriodsTheater Author:Cillian Murphy
