RE: ADSactly Literature - Nostalgia for the Whole (German romanticism)
Excellent work and very pertinent images, @josemalavem, especially that first with which one perceives the isolation and loneliness of the human being. It is felt that reality does not satisfy the yearnings and ideals, and in the human being sprouts the yearning for freedom, his spirit of rebellion. Man creates realities, he also evades others, because he is more aware of his sensitivity to the world. Regarding this time, I remember a quote from Novalis that says: "When you see a giant, first examine the position of the sun; do not be the shadow of a pygmy". How much of Romanticism will we have left? Thank you and a@adsactly for sharing.
Grateful for your sharp reading, @nancybriti. I think romanticism in general continues to mark the aesthetic and cultural vision of the West to a large extent. It is the opening of that which Octavio Paz called "the tradition of rupture"; this is what I will refer to when the sub-series of romanticism ends. Greetings.
