Sweetness is a desire that starts on the tongue with the sense of taste but doesn't end there. Or at least it didn't end there, back when the experience of sweetness was so special that the word served as a metaphor for a certain type of perfection... The best land was said to be sweet; so were the most pleasing sounds; the most persuasive talk; the loveliest views, the most refined people.
( Michael Pollan )
