“Dante compares this language—which is like yours, when you come back to me intangibly—to the “perfumed panther,” the mythical animal of medieval bestiaries. He adds, and I quote for all three of you: “Hearing the call of the panther, the other animals follow it wherever it goes, attracted by so much fragrant softness.”
― Assia Djebar, Algerian White
