FLEUR DE PEAU

Proof of Sensitivity
 We have our sensibilities
(sensitivities)
as alive as flower petals on our skins, 
our nerve endings so close to the surface that we can hardly be touched without flinching.
An Italian tale called "The Most Sensitive Woman"
tells of a woman whose foot is bandaged after a jasmine petal falls upon it.

Tales of extreme sensitivity are infrequent in world culture but a few have been recorded-
