CONT

L'état amoureux est un état psychique particulier : l'amoureux n'est plus le même. La réalité, le monde objectif s'éloignent au profit d'une hypertrophie de l'imaginaire. L'amoureux investit soudainement et totalement dans l'être aimé. Objet d'amour qu'il se représente avec passion : c'est la cristallisation.
