The Popular & Divine Romance

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

Romantic love is contrasted with platonic love which in all usages precludes sexual relations, yet only in the modern usage does it take on a fully asexual sense, rather than the classical sense in which sexual drives are sublimated. Sublimation tends to be forgotten in casual thought about love aside from its emergence in psychoanalysis and Nietzsche.

Unrequited love can be romantic in different ways: comic, tragic, or in the sense that sublimation itself is comparable to romance, where the spirituality of both art and egalitarian ideals is combined with strong character and emotions. Unrequited love is typical of the period of romanticism, but the term is distinct from any romance that might arise within it.

Romantic love may also be classified according to two categories, “popular romance” and “divine or spiritual” romance:

•    Popular romance may include but is not limited to the following types: idealistic, normal intense (such as the emotional aspect of “falling in love”), predictable as well as unpredictable, consuming (meaning consuming of time, energy and emotional withdrawals and bids), intense but out of control (such as the aspect of “falling out of love”) material and commercial (such as societal gain mentioned in a later section of this article), physical and sexual, and finally grand and demonstrative.

•    Divine (or spiritual) romance may include, but is not limited to these following types: realistic, as well as plausible unrealistic, optimistic as well as pessimistic (depending upon the particular beliefs held by each person within the relationship.), abiding (e.g. the theory that each person had a predetermined stance as an agent of choice; such as “choosing a husband” or “choosing a soul mate.”), non-abiding (e.g. the theory that we do not choose our actions, and therefore our romantic love involvement has been drawn from sources outside of ourselves), predictable as well as unpredictable, self control (such as obedience and sacrifice within the context of the relationship) or lack thereof (such as disobedience within the context of the relationship), emotional and personal, soulful (in the theory that the mind, soul, and body, are one connected entity), intimate, and infinite (such as the idea that love itself or the love of a god or God’s “unconditional” love is or could be everlasting)

Magnolia
The genus Magnolia (Magnolia) is a genus comprising 120 species. The species occurs naturally in Asia, North and South America. The northern species has a typical arctos-tertiary distribution. Many varieties are cultivated as garden plants. They thrive in sunny and sheltered positions. Some species prefer alkaline soil, others sour.

The species of mangoliasläktet are mutually quite different from each other. There are both deciduous and evergreen magnolias. They are trees or shrubs. The leaves are usually oval or toothless. The flowers are usually large and fragrant. Flower color is white, pink, purple or yellow. The buds are sensitive to frost.

Magnolias is a very old genus that existed before the bees. The flowers evolved to be pollinated by beetles. We have found fossil remains of Magnolia acuminata, which is 20 million years old.

The genus is named after Pierre Magnol, a botanist from Montpellier in France.
