The world must be romanticized. In this way one rediscovers its original meaning. Romanticizing is nothing but a qualitative raising to a higher power. The lower self becomes identified with a better self. Insofar as I give the commonplace a higher meaning, the ordinary a mysterious countenance, the known the dignity of the unknown, the finite an appearance of infinity, I romanticize it.

Individually we have become more parochial and limited as we have developed as a species. And the heart, which is the prime organ for connecting with what is beyond, has become a site of feeble sentiment rather than the home of a fiercely active spirit.

life itself, in its overflowing dynamic state of flux, resists and subverts as it unfolds as an auto-poietic force
