In his lecture on Góngora, Lorca says the poet should be a professor of the five bodily senses, in the following order
"vista, tacto, oído, olfato y gusto"
It's curious. My ordering would be
oído [ear], vista [vision], olfato [smell], with gusto [taste] and tacto [touch] bringing up the rear, roughly tied.
Smell is the sense of memory. Most of taste is really smell anyway. Texture, touch, is important too, but I wouldn't put it second as Lorca did. Lorca who was an excellent musician. I'm definitely in the "De la musique avant toute chose..." camp.
