‘A mentholated breath upon papyrus. A solar barque, a queen, her devotee. Two shores, a sea split in two, a sea for two. In the days-of-light, a felucca, a galley, filled. With unguents, spices, potions opening worlds. A triangle-woman, geometric and sensual, a throne-woman, an emerald. A beacon-perfume, a formula, an Alexandrine’ – Stephane Humbert Lucas
