As the waves of perfume, heliotrope, rose,
Float in the garden when no wind blows,

And go from me leaving no trace behind,
Like fragrance borne on the hush of the wind.

It draws people together because only those who are comfortable with each other can sit without speaking. This is the great paradox.
