WHEN OFT UPON MY COUCH I LIE
IN JOCUND OR IN PENSIVE MOOD
THEY FLASH UPON THE INWARD EYE
WHICH IS THE BLISS OF SOLITUDE
AND THEN MY HEART WITH PLEASURE FILLS
AND DANCES WITH THE DAFFODILS
I wonder whether Mr. Wordsworth would have ever imagined the literary impact that these lines would have on the minds of people who would have the fortune of reading and fantasising about them. I admit that i am no great scholar of english but those who are would agree with me that the above mentioned lines are one of the best possible descriptions of the subtle impact of nature on a human being.
The beauty of nature and the beauty of beloved are two main ingredients, which when mixed in the right proportion, give rise to one of the most celebrated phenomena in poetry—- ROMANCE .
Romance is a term used to describe a celebration of life often through music,art and the attempt to express love through words and deeds.(thanks wikipedia)
So here i am, a 25 something man, yearning for a little romance in my life.
Music— oh i love it. It is the food for my soul. I love Lucky Ali, Nusrat, Jal, Bryan Adams, ………… and the list never ends.
Art—– i am not much of an artist but let me tell you a good piece of art can never go unnoticed by my eyes, whether it is a carefully carved sculpture or a passionately rendered painting.
Love for a women is something that every heterosexual male is born with, and i am no exception but the only problem is that i haven’t found the right one yet.
I believe that when we have just one life to live, we should celebrate each day as if its a festival and make the most of each moment. The current happenings in the world strengthen my belief more and more and i guess it is the need of the hour that everyone should start thinking like me instead of adding to the world’s problems. Lets get some smiles rolling, lets wipe some tears off, lets lend someone a shoulder to cry upon, lets tell a friend how much he matters to us, lets tell our parents how much we love them and appreciate what they have done for us AND THAT MY FRIENDS WOULD BE A NEVER ENDING ROMANCE. Lets romance with life before we set out to romance with a girl or boy(whatever).
A THING OF BEAUTY IS A JOY FOREVER!
OH MY LOVE IS LIKE A RED RED ROSE!
Agreed but my idea of a perfect romance would be a romance in which i would not only be romancing my beloved, but also my life and offcourse nature. Think about celebrating a carnival with your beloved on the Goan beaches and making them and every passer by smile. That my friends is my vision of a romance worth dying for and thats precisely why you can call me THE BUDDING ROMANTIC.
