Succinctly true Nick, I love the quotation, thank you. Here's one for
you from Proust as he tasted his tea-soaked madeline (from Remembrance
of Things Past):

"But when from a long-distant past nothing subsists, after the people
are dead, after the things are broken and scattered, still, alone,
more fragile, but with more vitality, more unsubstantial, more
persistent, more faithful, the smell and taste of things remain poised
a long time, like souls, ready to remind us, waiting and hoping for
their moment, amid the ruins of all the rest; and bear unfaltering, in
the tiny and almost impalpable drop of their essence, the vast
structure of recollection."
