“She learned the intricacy of loneliness: the horror of color, the roar of soundlessness and the menace of familiar objects lying still.”

–Toni Morrison, A Mercy

Synithstesia is the effect of combining the senses. For example, the smell of a color, or the image of a sound. While Morrison doesn’t exactly use it in this passage, she still creates an interesting effect with her diction that is similar to synithstesia. Describe the following either from your own perspective, or the perspective of a character you are developing: the way a song looks, the way your/ their favorite painting smells (and I don’t mean literally, not the paint or the canvas, but the image itself), the way a banana’s taste sounds, and how the smell of apple cider feels to the touch.
