"And 'this immortal instinct of beauty that makes us see the world and all its beauty as a reflection, as a match in heaven. The unquenchable thirst for all that is beyond, and reveals the life, is the most vivid proof of our immortality. Together with poetry and through poetry, music and through music, the soul perceives the light that shines beyond the grave, and when a perfect poem gives birth to tears, these tears are not a sign of a excessive joy, but rather a sign of exasperated sadness, a need nervosa, exiled in the imperfect nature of who hanker to have suffered in this world, a paradise found. "
C. Baudelaire, from Art Romantique
