Whoever wants to know something about me - as an artist which alone is significant - they should look attentively at my pictures and there seek to recognise what I am and what I want.

Re: ebullience
A nice word with generally positive overtones. I'm not sure how I'd use the second meaning, though. "My cup is ebullient" just doesn't quite do it for me.1. high spirits; exhilaration; exuberance.
2. a boiling over; overflow.
Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.
Re: ebullience
With regard to the second meaning, there is the ebulliometer.
It measures the alcohol content of wines – not high spirits.

Re: ebullience
Well then, it certainly would measure high spirits and low as well, sometimes even hitting a happy medium!
