Viewing nature and experiencing love can create a madness. Yet when spun of lustrous threads, the beauty of the very air we breathe consumes the writings from the minds of the great Romantics. They destroy their preconceptions in order to create meaningful and inspiring works of genius.

Underestimating The Unacknowledged
We come to this class to receive "credit"; college credit, a knowledge of the romantic period which may entail legitimacy in such discourse, or creds simply for reading more books than other people. But if we are going to take Shelley and the romantic movement's manifesto seriously, we will seek to embody their values in our study, to grasp the powers of change that are readily available to us all and realize that our lives do not begin when we are handed our diploma; they have already begun.
hear hear! (btw...this was just a post to concur with what megan said, not for a grade :) )
