Romantics vs the Enlightenment

Passion of the Western Mind:
"Emotion and imagination, rather than reason and perception, were of prime importance."

"The romantics gloried in the unbounded multiplicity of realities pressing in on his subjective awareness, and in the complete uniqueness of each object, event, and experience presented to his soul."

Blake as representative of the romantic view.
