Synaesthesia

color awe so crystal as to hear an enigma whiffed fragrance a strangeness to scarcely taste obscure scenes light is sown feel the warmth that follows miles minds do smile ----------------------- "An individual whose conscious awareness is such that a sound becomes fused with a sense of color and taste; for whom each fleeting impression engenders a vivid, inextinguishable image; for whom words have quite different meanings than they do for us—such a person cannot mature in the same way others do, nor will his inner world, his life history tend to be like others'." from: Luria, A. R. & Solotaroff, Lynn (translator) (1968) The mind of a mnemonist: a little book about a vast memory. Jonathan Cape
