Munro Discovers a World

Munro had hidden in verdigris and discovered a world. He felt unwell and rainy and had encountered other beings in the corridor, so he saw no other way at that moment, buried his face in the green coating of this artwork, which coolly wandered through the misunderstanding of the corridor and whose name was written on a little sign: Verdigris.
Here was a world full of fine threads, sparkling bright Hesperides woven with warm-spicy rosemary. Above, ethereal mists billowed from herb-fresh sage and luminous lavender, chamomile lanterns shining as weightlessly as luminescent magic on glowing galbanum camphor. Inside, Munro soon saw a wild meadow of creaky grasses, where now and then the flower roots quietly waved shiny banners like silver tails, and clouds of incense poured lemons while resins flowed like earthy streams with tiny sweet crystals.
Hours later, Munro saw soap bubbles floating over the vast lavender meadow; it had become warmer now, softer and cozy, like moss. No, he would not take his face out of the verdigris anymore; he didn't care how it looked to the other beings, his head in the artwork. Verdigris was his world.

To dream....
To bury your head in images and enter other worlds.

The comment makes the scent almost "plastic," or rather "olfactory," and it's beautifully wrapped in a fitting scenario.

Munro reminds me a bit of the pilot Pirx here. And I imagine the scent as a kind of chypre-cologne hybrid.

Diving so deep into the art, what an achievement! Who can blame him for not wanting to leave this world, it seems so beautiful and is described so well!

What could be more beautiful than simply diving into another world? To bury your face in the greenery and exist far away from stress, hustle, and the madness of everyday life. All the while accompanied by such a lovely scent. As always, a brilliant comment!!

I can understand Munro. I wouldn't want to leave this beautiful verdigris world either. Chamomile lanterns, silver tails, and lavender soap bubbles! Heart, what more could you want?

A Munro can be anything. For me, a Munro is known as any mountain in Scotland that is over 3000 ft (914.4 m). Nevertheless, no matter what it means to you, I’ll do like he does and bury my face deep in the sand because of the scent! Beautiful pictures drawn!

Verdigris and filth!
Because of you, we get to stick our heads into a work of art every day in some form.

Hmm, that's exactly how I remember the Grünspan in Hamburg before it was converted into a concert venue back in '95. :))

The green patina has been closed for a while, so there must be something to discover. I just wonder how he got in there?
