Attitude or intellectual orientation that characterized many works of literature, painting, music, architecture, criticism, and historiography in Western civilization over a period from the late 18th to the mid-19th century. Romanticism can be seen as a rejection of the precepts of order, calm, harmony, balance, idealization, and rationality that typified Classicism in general and late 18th-century Neoclassicism in particular. It was also to some extent a reaction against the Enlightenment and against 18th-century rationalism and physical materialism in general. Romanticism emphasized the individual, the subjective, the irrational, the imaginative, the personal, the spontaneous, the emotional, the visionary, and the transcendental.

IHOP. Seriously. It goes like this: Romanticism reminds me of IHOP, because I think of the scene in Swingers when Mike is hitting on the waitress in an IHOP-y type place by making a reference to the Age of Enlightenment, then assumes that the waitress was clueless because she didn't react at all, until she passes him and refers to him as Voltaire ... who had nothing to do with the romanticist movement save to incite it, perhaps. But that's the thought process... sad, convoluted, but true. I also totally don't get the Voltaire/Age of Enlightenment reference.

Mirrors.
A garden that is like a maze with small lights along the way.
