Indeed, so much is this religion a love of life, that it may, as in the case of the romanticists, be a love of caprice.
"The Approach to Philosophy"
Ralph Barton Perry
This poem, though written in the fashionable couplet of Pope, and even containing a few verses contributed by Dr. Johnson-so that it was not at all in line with the work of the romanticists-did, perhaps, as much as any thing of Gray or of Collins to recall English poetry to the simplicity and freshness of country life.
"Brief History of English and American Literature"
Henry A. Beers
He is a poet and idealist, and thus akin to the romanticists-though he lacks their perfection of diction-in his feeling for the beauty of atmospheric effects, and also in his enthusiasm for music, which he loved passionately.
"Honore de Balzac, His Life and Writings"
Mary F. Sandars
