It seems like the grandeur of a place only reveals itself after you've left it. Memory can make the place more ‘real’ than it ever was in reality. For instance, there’s the scent of an object that’s been brought home from somewhere far away. (It doesn’t have to be a beautiful scent. Examples for me have been bug spray or deodorant.) When you smell it again at home, after some time has passed, it brings up a feeling that’s profound and unique — something like nostalgia and acute yearning all at once. You’re dislocated from your surroundings, but only in order to receive a different kind of clarity. You are allowed a glimpse of something essential to that place. It’s a temporary unveiling. After half a minute or less it passes and you’re back in the everyday world that now seems more banal than ever. The feeling is dreamlike: It’s like the heavenly music you dream that fades from your memory as soon as you wake up. You can not recollect the nature of this feeling or recreate it. It becomes a mystery, and you can only wait until the next time that you’re granted that experience.
