...steel did not search him again, and he remained in such a tacit communion with the fragrance he drank, that he feared to move lest he break it. He could not notice when the air which had soothed him became hot and bitter, or the darkness to which he clung turned into a cage of burning wire...

It should not involve varied surfaces or a balance of different...
