And so I remain some 55 years later,

a confirmed Romanticist.

Vitality and powerful emotions drive my life and choices. My ideas and imagination continue to be dreamlike and limitless.

I am, to say the least, an unusual, unique, autonomous individual, still living life largely on my own terms.

Love and Beauty continue to be the main pleasures with a strong emphasis on Nature as well as remarkable unorthodox human possibilities.

Other Romantic qualities:

A vivid imagination and natural creative instincts.

A complete rejection of tyranny and outside authority coupled with a deep appreciation of freedom and liberty for the individual.

A pervasive interest in the past and high culture, particularly the Arts–the great human record of expressions of genius and spirit. Matthew Arnold`s best that has been expressed and created in the world

Above all, the pursuit of high ideals.
