The terms brilliant or crowds can therefore be of the synonyms in order simply to identify individuals to which it comes attributed one particular sensibility, beyond that difficultly found behaviors, personalities and "productions" in the average. The artists, the poets live a condition of GENIUS and MADNESS that often coincide.'
