Stendhal Syndrome

Has this ever happened to you, /lit/?

>The illness is named after the famous 19th-century French author Stendhal (pseudonym of Marie-Henri Beyle), who described his experience with the phenomenon during his 1817 visit to Florence in his book Naples and Florence: A Journey from Milan to Reggio.

>"I was in a sort of ecstasy, from the idea of being in Florence, close to the great men whose tombs I had seen. Absorbed in the contemplation of sublime beauty... I reached the point where one encounters celestial sensations... Everything spoke so vividly to my soul. Ah, if I could only forget. I had palpitations of the heart, what in Berlin they call 'nerves.' Life was drained from me. I walked with the fear of falling"

Yes.

I'd been ripped off the day before, and was in the shower thinking over what had happened, when it hit me. I understood fully why it should have happened and why it had to have happened. In that moment I felt as if the laws of reality were laid bare before me, and I fully internalized the idea that everything is as it must be.
