Just a little quote

[smokingboot]

a sweet phrase from illuminating_dragon's journal:


A THOUSAND KISSES DEEP

How magical that sounds!

[Edited to add] Courtesy of Semyaza, I now know where the above comes from, and so copy Mr Cohen's lyrics here, because they sum up my current feelings so well:


I’m turning tricks, I’m getting fixed,
I’m back on Boogie Street.
You lose your grip, and then you slip
Into the Masterpiece.
And maybe I had miles to drive,
And promises to keep:
You ditch it all to stay alive,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

And sometimes when the night is slow,
The wretched and the meek,
We gather up our hearts and go,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

Confined to sex, we pressed against
The limits of the sea:
I saw there were no oceans left
For scavengers like me.
I made it to the forward deck.
I blessed our remnant fleet –
And then consented to be wrecked,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.


Just writing it cheers the melancholy from my soul!

I'm glad I made you smile. It's the title of a Leonard Cohen song.

Thanks for the source

You inspired me to find it...it's strange how a phrase alone and the text it belongs to can both be resonant in entirely different ways.

It's also one of my favourite perfumes!

called 1000 Kisses Deep, and it smells of Myrrh and exotic blossoms. It's made by B Never Too Busy to be Beautiful, which is next to the Carnaby Street Lush, and is the second most fragrant plce in the world (next to Carnaby Street Lush) they also have a website http://www.bnevertoobusytobebeautiful.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_3&zenid=3p5vd5t575ksuuqvcq9c4vt455 . Being fragrant always cheers me up, or am I just odd.

if you're odd, so am I! Fragrances affect my mood in a big way andperfume's a small but rich aspect of my life.

I am going to be in London from the 7th to the 12th, do you want to meet up? If so, how can you be reached?
