Always on the lookout for sad and dramatic stories, he even went so far as to sabotage his romantic relationships to gather the raw material for his poetry. But, despite all his efforts, he couldn't manage to write a text that satisfied him.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003eHe then began to read, devouring collections of poems at all hours of the day and night. \"By reading so much, I'll find inspiration,\" he repeated to himself. Despite the consistency of his efforts, he was met with a blank page. And the more he stubbornly sought inspiration, the more isolated he became, and the more the whole world irritated him! He despaired of those people lacking even the most basic culture, raged at those fanatics who preferred to cultivate their bodies rather than their minds. He eventually lost his appetite, and then his sleep. Increasingly anxious, he scribbled lines anywhere and anytime, his mind increasingly disturbed by terrible obsessions about the fate of humanity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003e One morning, having slept, as usual, only an hour or two, he decided he'd had enough. Determined to end his agonizing suffering, he went to consult the village druid. The druid, quickly realizing that the man before him was experiencing the onset of neurosis, recommended a blend of lavender and lime essential oils, known for their tonic and soothing properties.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003e The Poet followed his prescription to the letter and made extensive use of these essential oils. Little by little, he felt what he hadn't felt in a long time: a certain calm and a nascent serenity. He came to realize that by constantly reading the words of others, he had lost touch with his own voice. He chose to try living instead of reading. Looking around him, he fell in love, embarked on a journey, took long walks in the forest, contemplated the changing seasons, and observed nature in its smallest details. A passion for horticulture blossomed within him, prompting him to meticulously record his precious observations. Line by line, the work improved and became essential reading for budding gardeners, as well as for all lovers of poetry. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003eThis collection was finally praised, and our poet achieved fame, a fame which now left him somewhat indifferent since he had found the happiness of living.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003e-\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Savonnerie des Diligences","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42955315675203,"sku":null,"price":9.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1313\/9439\/files\/doormats_34_421eda97-cd12-4c6d-9941-f9248355da52.png?v=1771000274","url":"https:\/\/prettygrit.ca\/products\/the-poet-soap-savonnerie-des-diligen","provider":"Pretty Grit","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
