6. Has disappeared
?
As has been argued, Romanticism as a literary
sensibility has never completely disappeared.
It was overtaken by other aesthetic paradigms
like Realism and Modernism, but Romanticism
was always lurking under the surface. Many
great poets and novelists of the twentieth
century says the Romantics as their greatest
inspirational voices. The primary reason that
Romanticism fell out of the limelight is
because many writers felt the need to express
themselves in a more immediate way
7. “Lyrical Ballads”
"In spite of difference of soil and climate, of
language and manners, of laws and customs, in
spite of things silently gone out of mind and things
violently destroyed, the Poet binds together by
passion and knowledge the vast empire of human
society, as it is spread over the whole earth, and
over all time. The objects of the Poet's thoughts
are every where; though the eyes and senses of
man are, it is true, his favorite guides, yet he will
follow wheresoever he can find an atmosphere of
sensation in which to move his wings. Poetry is
the first and last of all knowledge--it is as immortal
as the heart of man."
--William Wordsworth,
