Are people who read more likely to be romantics? If so, do they read because they are romantics or does one become more romantic by reading?
Is there a worse fate than to be born a romantic? Life is just filled with endless disappointment. There's no escape of life's kitchen sink realism.
I think you need to clear up exactly what kind of romantic you're talking about. How about adding a short definition of what a romantic is (to you).
No doubt the artist is the child of his time; but woe to him if he is also its disciple, or even its favouite. Let some beneficent deity snatch the infant betimes from his mother's breast, let it nourish him with the milk of a better age and suffer him to grow up to full maturity beneath the distant skies of Greece. Then when he has become a man, let him return to his century as an alien figure; but not in order to gladden it by his appearance, rather, terrible like Agamemnon's son, to cleanse it.

Why do you ask such stupid questions?
