Romanticizing the everyday

To give the common a lofty meaning, the known the dignity of the unknown, the finite the glow of the infinite: this is to romanticize.

called « romanticizing » the power to look at the ordinary world so as to give it back its depth and mystery. It is a disposition to cultivate: before a street, a face, a banal gesture, to suspend the habit that makes them grey and to find again the strange, the beautiful, the infinite hidden in them. Reality does not change; it is the gaze that re-enchants it.
