- "An idea inspired by the same sympathist theory [of Tiphaigne] can be found in a fable in Mirabeau's Erotika Biblion. In it, every inhabitant of the rings of Saturn exhaled his own specific effluvia, which were directly linked to the "nervous buds of perception." These emanations could intertwine in other people's effluvia, producing "live cohesion" of two beings by innumerable similar molecules. In the rings of Saturn, both knowledge and feelings were transmitted through the air" --The Foul and the Fragrant: Odor and the French Social Imagination
