"A fire, fanned by the wind, and suddenly the desert is ablaze.
As if bursting forth from the earth, the desert wind Sharki tears more away than it blows away, hurling plants, insects and twigs inexorably into the heights of the sky. Its powerful and relentless gusts entwine shrubs, bushes and berries, scorching them and extorting their precious juices and resins as ransom. Night falls on the still smouldering memory and clears the stage for the amber and sweet aromas of the alchemist called Sharki." - Serge Lutens
