Romanticism: Poems

"In Romanticism, the untrammeled Romantic in us struggles for expression in Art. The winner-no question-is the reader."â€”New Haven Review

Romanticism explores and challenges the central ideas of high Romanticism: the tragedy and gallantry of the individualâ€™s life journey, the appeal of revolution and violence, the beckoning forces of Nature, and the estrangement from but constant longing for God. Here is a powerful argument for the primacy of strong emotion.

â€œUngeliebtâ€

     So I offered a bargain:

     All of it, the books, the papers,

     and whatever is still brewing in my teapot headâ€”

     All of this, I said, I will surrender

     if only I may have

     the home that I have seen in his face.

     The answer came at once: No.

     What lies you tell, and call them love. To view text with line endings as poet intended, please set font size to the smallest size on your device.
