Arthur Symons likens the persistence of love and cherished memories to the lingering scent of perfume, suggesting that while many things in life may fade away, the thought of a loved one remains deeply ingrained in one's mind. This highlights the profound impact that specific emotions and connections have on our being, as they can invoke strong feelings long after the physical presence has faded.
In practice

What could the Lord Jesus Christ have done for you more than he has? Then do not abuse his mercy, but let your time be spent in thinking and talking of the love of Jesus, who was incarnate for us, who was born of a woman, and made under the law, to redeem us from the wrath to come.
