Live in an atmosphere of poetry
To constantly see faces around you that are gloomy, sad, tense, aloof or hostile is not a pleasant experience.
In fact, even if we have no reason to feel sad or unhappy, we cannot help but be affected by such negative influences and, as likely as not, we will go home with an uneasy feeling which we will pass on to our family.
This is the life that human beings continually create for one another. Why don’t they always make an effort to show others a bright, open, smiling face? They don’t know how to live a poetic life which would make them a source of constant delight to others. True poetry is not confined to literature; true poetry is a quality of the inner life. Everyone appreciates the arts, painting, music, dance, sculpture, etc., but why don’t they live their lives in harmony with these colours, rhythms, forms and melodies?

The thing we look for and love in people is their quality of poetry: we need to see, feel and breathe something ethereal and luminous, something that soothes, harmonizes and inspires us.
Therefore, from now on you must no longer leave poetry to the poets to write. It is your life that must be poetic. Yes, the true art nouveau is to learn to create and diffuse poetry all around you, to be cordial, expressive, luminous and vibrant.
