lyricism, n.All

Lyricism (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠loving by telling one's love to the beloved — long songs, and with them the chance of poetry and art.

Lyricism (n.) obeyed, ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠in the nineteenth century, the same law as man's positive knowledge of himself: the irruption of finitude, opening in one a rational science and in the other a language that unfolds endlessly in the void left by the absent gods.
