The virtues of Koh (incense)

The virtues of Koh

*koh = incense

It brings communication with the transcendent.
It refreshes mind and body.
It removes impunity.
It brings alertness.
It is a companion in solitude.
In the midst of busy affairs, it brings a moment of peace.
When it is plentiful, one never tires of it.
When there is little, still one is satisfied.
Age does not change its efficacy.
Used everyday, it does no harm.

— A poem from the sixteenth century —
