The Pleasant Taste Of Romanticism
Lawyers, especially labor law experts, say that “the devil is in the details” because sometimes a single word can completely change the meaning of a law.
The romantics, on the other hand, also know the value of details, but they give them another connotation. “Heaven is in the details,” they would say.
No one knows when the epidemic of fear began to spread around what is romantic.
It seems that everyone feels genuine terror at the mention of the term “blue flower”.
However, the romantic is not necessarily “ass cul la praline” and the “ass cul la praline” is not necessarily romantic. As in everything, it is a question of nuance.
What makes the difference between the “ass cul la praline” and the romantic is the imposture.
A poem that seeks to impress with redundant words, instead of expressing sincerely what one feels, is “cul cul la praline”.
The romantic brings color to life
Vanilla ice cream is vanilla ice cream in all places in the world. But if we serve it with roasted pistachios, with a sauce on top and with a funny shape, you will have the impression that this ice cream will be even better.
You will also have a different satisfaction when you eat it. One way or another, you will feel comforted, spoiled, valued.
The ice cream will then no longer be a simple ice cream, it will become a seductive dish.
These details, which in a strict sense are not functionally necessary, sometimes give rise to a whole world of emotions from a subjective point of view.
They make a banal moment become a unique moment. They are so important that they are etched in my memory and are still there for years to come.
The natural space to express the romantic is couple love. If you’ve ever written a poem, it’s surely during those times when you felt deeply in love.
Flowers, chocolates or cards, among others, are concepts that are often associated with romantic love. They easily become the fuel that makes the flame burn.
The romantic is that person who has the ability to bring color to life. It is not that love depends on the romantic, but that it rises through him.
The fear of being romantic
Ultimately, a romantic detail is an express statement of the love and importance you give to the other person.
It makes it possible to turn an ordinary fact into an extraordinary fact. It is a sign of interest, concern and willingness to uplift the other. In general, it causes surprise and allows you to be satisfied for a few moments.
Still, a lot of people love it with care. Oddly enough, they don’t want the other to find out how important it is to them and what they would be willing to do for him.
They deal with love in an almost “executive” way, like a functional theme that runs its course, just as they would with repairing a car.
Let nothing exceed. Let there be no exaggeration. That there is no “ass cul la praline”, nor too many emotions.
Others have a kind of emotional rigor. They don’t see the point of turning into a poet or dying of laughter as soon as you hear a serenade. They give more interest to the practical effects of love: mutual support, understanding, good communication etc.
But they do not believe that love dances to the rhythm of the violins, nor that it grows between whispers and perfumes.
In humans, there are no formulas. But what is certain is that life obtains a special grace when we have a person by our side who takes the trouble to surprise us with something that makes us feel unique.
Life is also more colorful if we feel that we are able to wake up with a sincere and grateful smile towards someone, when we express what is important, through a detail.
Romanticism is like the music you put in the lyrics to make a song.
