..Astride of a grave and a difficult birth. Down in the hole,
lingeringly, the grave-digger puts on the forceps.

*Consult your doctor if you experience the symptoms of phantosmia,
so that your doctor can rule out any serious underlying disorders that
may be causing the detected smell. Unless you have suffered a loss in
the preceding 18 months when out of body: pre and post death visitations
often occur, smelling like something is burning. (Mayo Clinic 2018)
