O stupefying dream of day and night; break your spell.
Invigor me with a new face in the crowd..
The routine of daily life dulls the machinery of the mind.
By its nature, brain is a creative and a constructive software. However, monotony dulls the constructive edge of our mind and it starts running on established mental sets.
Something new, something different serves to break this spellbinding monotony.The new thing could be any thing: an idea, a face, a scenery, an object, a pattern, an occurrence.
Here face fits nicely with the crowd - the latter word pointing to the usual overload of repetitive and familiar stimuli on the human mind. The metaphor of face coming from a romantic poet might also hint to the creative power of love. Indeed, a recent psychological study once lead to the verification of this exact idea: falling in love (a powerful change from the status quo) can recharge the batteries of our human mind and make us more creative!
