the thing that always gets me about english and the predominance of sight over other senses is in examples like this: sight: the sunlight fell through the trees smell: waffles drifted through the air
nope, you have to say the smell/aroma, etc of waffles. otherwise people assume you're seeing it. completely sight-based. i can't think of a better way of doing it though.
