Yes, a very fine piece.
And on a favourite theme of mine - the Proustian "involuntary memory", triggered by taste or smell.
Proust says that mere thought memories alone can never truly evoke the past ...
"But when from a long-distant past no thing 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 . . . . and bear unfaltering, in the tiny and almost impalpable drops of their essence, the vast structure of recollection." [SW 65] [pp. 108-109]
Excellent poem.
