Just as emphatically as in the form of the leaves, a metamorphosis of the substantive activity makes itself known in the transformation of the fragrant substances from the rootstock through the stem to the blossom — whose intensity of streaming fragrance is greatest at the point of fading. Just as form and colour address feeling through the sense of sight, so the sense of smell opens feeling to deeper layers of the workings of substances. In the dimmer mode of perception, smell leads more deeply toward the quality of those forces that are active in the living as astral forces. In valerian and stinging nettle they stand in polar relation to one another.
