Wow, really enjoyed this!

Slightly embarrassed to admit I've not heard the Led Zeppelin song before - but I like how you pair those themes with Romanticism and your own experiences .

And that sense of longing you mention - or the innate wish to truly connect with the emotion of this world (as opposed to merely rationalising everything) is also a big part of why I always feel connected to the Romantic artists/Poets too.

Awesome work.

This is so kind, thank you! And no need for embarrassment; I’m happy to have introduced the song! I think that sense of longing grounds a lot of Romantic art and absolutely why I connect to it, too. I’m glad you enjoyed the essay!
