And what is love? It is a doll dress’d up
For idleness to cosset, nurse, and dandle;
A thing of soft misnomers, so divine
That silly youth doth think to make itself
Divine by loving, and so goes on
Yawning and doting a whole summer long,
Till Miss’s comb is made a pearl tiara,
And common Wellingtons turn Romeo boots;
Then Cleopatra lives at number seven,
And Antony resides in Brunswick Square.
Fools! if some passions high have warm’d the world,
If Queens and Soldiers have play’d deep for hearts,
It is no reason why such agonies
Should be more common than the growth of weeds.
Fools! make me whole again that weighty pearl
The Queen of Egypt melted, and I’ll say
That ye may love in spite of beaver hats.

It's just the mind, a very complex machine that's constrained by the narrowness of existence, turning its wheels, tantalised by a vision of happiness and sensing, quite rightly and hopelessly, that there could have been so much more to life than there ever will be.
Btw this is not a statement against romanticism, it's just a declaration of its nature
The already-old people of thirty-five and forty-five are nervous about student riots, sex, LSD, or miniskirts, feverishly attempting to persuade themselves that, after all, youth was always rebellious, and that what is happening today is no different from the past. Even among the young we find an incomprehension of change:
students so ignorant of the past that they see nothing unusal about the present.
- Future Shock
