stendhal

definition of Stendhal taken from Wikipedia:

Born: 23 January 1783(1783-01-23) Grenoble, France
Died: 23 March 1842(1842-03-23) (aged 59) Paris, France
Occupation: Writer
Literary movement: Realism


Marie-Henri Beyle (23 January 1783 – 23 March 1842), better known by his pen name Stendhal, was a 19th-century French writer. Known for his acute analysis of his characters' psychology, he is considered one of the earliest and foremost practitioners of realism in his two novels Le Rouge et le Noir (The Red and the Black, 1830) and La Chartreuse de Parme (The Charterhouse of Parma, 1839).

hmmmmm. i wonder how he became an inspiration for this:


:)

btw, there's a definition for Stendhal's syndrome on Wikipedia:

Stendhal syndrome, Stendhal's syndrome, hyperkulturemia, or Florence syndrome is a psychosomatic illness that causes rapid heartbeat, dizziness, fainting, confusion and even hallucinations when an individual is exposed to art, usually when the art is particularly beautiful or a large amount of art is in a single place. The term can also be used to describe a similar reaction to a surfeit of choice in other circumstances, e.g. when confronted with immense beauty in the natural world.

hmmm. if art = wraps, then this definition seems to describe wrap fanatics perfectly, especially when there's a recent release. hahahahahahhah.

=P
