nature red in tooth and claw
[Location] Southern English coastal landscapes. Narrow, sandy bays, often rocky. A stale grey-brown against the white-grey spray of the North Sea. On the shore, on the barren meadows, squat like monoliths the grey stone houses. Smoke rises from the narrow chimneys. Uninviting, silenced. The cry of seagulls. Crash of waves. Sometimes a person in yellow flits through the picture. The algae-salty smell of the sea mingles with the smoke from the chimneys.
I take a little walk, away from the barren coast, into the hinterland. Across the lush green fields, framed by stone walls and rhododendron bushes. It's spring in the south of England. Nature is in bloom. Life.
[Fragrance | Notes] Mint. Main player in this scenery. Like a finely sweetened mint tea that has cooled. Overripe bergamot joins in. And a juicy-sweet orange. In the background, a hint of pepper.
Juniper berry. As in a fine gin. With its fine spice. Accompanied by a pine needle aroma. Resinous-green. Woody. And fennel. Steamed, not raw. Fruity almost, with all its flavors.
A picture of nature at rest in itself. Like an old master.
51° 19' 9 "N 1° 21' 30 "E accompanied. A minty-green, spicy-sweet fragrance with fruits. Finely tuned. Restrained. Benevolent. Inviting. No spiciness, no citrus. Maturity. Juicy fruit. With mint at the center. Nothing here interrupts this harmony. A fine fragrance. Like a walk across a blooming spring meadow. Away from people. From the places of people. In the hinterland of the southern English coast.
[Music] Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958) "Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis"
