But, in fact, I've never really grown out of it.<br />I know I too feel I should bee repulsed by Tchaikovsky, say, or Mahler... but I still secretly (is this a secret?) thrill to it. <br />I think it's that I have learned it's not reality--or not the WHOLE of reality; indeed can even be dangerously misleading (Nazis loving Wagner, for instance); but it still touches this tender place in my heart that wants life to be that achingly beautiful.<br /><br />BINK: I know! There's this conversation going on about gardening that I had no idea the camera was recording until after I'd already chosen this clip (for the light and the hand and paper movements). <br /><br />"They're seedlings so they need the sun" the woman says.

I could see it ocassionally, like when he goes a bit haywire and starts talking about "a beach to walk on" and such. <br /><br />I think on a conscious level, I feel I should be repulsed by Romanticism. I know it is absurd, but usually, I welcome it anyways. I wonder why it tends to be something people grow out of.Marzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258262409718943594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229875339727095184.post-24097945032350465102010-01-21T11:33:45.027-06:002010-01-21T11:33:45.027-06:00In fact, Young Werther is the only Goethe I ever r...In fact, Young Werther is the only Goethe I ever read. <br />I was in the right mood but actually didn't delve into German Romanticism at that age.<br /><br />I wonder if I would like it now... even though it seems a young person's thing. <br /><br />Oddly enough, I like Beethoven better at mid-life. Maybe because I can see him *now* through a wide angle lens...? and don't get quite so "peevish". (Remember, young Lucy Honeychurch in "A Room with a View" says playing Beethoven makes her peevish).Frescahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323129046492056942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229875339727095184.post-1194851842526757922010-01-21T10:47:58.706-06:002010-01-21T10:47:58.706-06:00When you mentioned Romanticism, I thought of the G...When you mentioned Romanticism, I thought of the German poet Holderlin...then I saw you proceeded to Goethe.
