Hi
Are all those who believe in ghosts, the metaphysical and the paranormal either mad, romantic or both?
I have long taken pleasure from the romantic poets, composers and artists
Surely this preference is from a genetic inheritance or merely a part of my nurturing or both?
"And I have felt
A presence that disturbs me with the joy
Of elevated thoughts; a sense sublime
Of something far more deeply interfused,
Whose dwelling is the light of setting suns,
And the round ocean and the living air,
And the blue sky, and in the mind of man;
A motion and a spirit that impels
All thinking things, all objects of all thought,
And rolls through all things."
Wordsworth created "Tintern Abbey" in 1798 but it remains as beautifully poignant today as it did when his quill first touched the parchment
The romantic poets instilled an essence of the metaphysical in their poetry
Why?
Were they all mad?
Were they all products of their social environment?
Were they all mere "followers of fashion"?
Are we that believe in the soul of nature today a throwback to a bygone age?
Anyone out there that feels the same?
Anyone out there interested enough to write about their feelings on the existence of the spirit or soul?
Come on - prove me wrong - write!!
