REVOLUTIONARY ROMANTIC POETRY:
REVOLUTION is radical fundamental changes in the course of events,
phenomena, processes; a sudden spasmodic transition from one state to
another, a turning- point, an overturn, reorganization, conducted in a
short period of time and giving positive results.
ROMANTICISM is a person's world outlook, attitude to the world, his/her
position on what is happening, that is manifested through nourishing high
lofty ideals, feeling stronger emotions, visionary contemplation,
idealization of reality, irony and believing into miracles.
POETRY is art of word.
The notions of Revolution and Romanticism do not merge into one; on the
contrary, there is a subtle difference, discrepancy between them.
Revolution is a real act towards real objects and circumstances, a
struggle, an overturn that pursues precise and definite aims. Romantic
ideals seem vague obscure deeply private belonging to the inner world,
compared to external nature of revolutionary ideals. Revolutionary
reorganization and romantic ideals are both caused by one and the same
desire of a human to perfect oneself, to improve a current situation; this
desire, after all, unites Revolution and Romanticism. Scientific,
Technical, Social, Economic, Religious, Sexual Revolutions are carried out
by ardent revolutionaries romantics, guided by the lofty ideals of heroism,
selfless serving social welfare, wholehearted self-sacrificing for the high
ideal. Most of the revolutionary reorganizations undoubtedly lead the human
society
to a new step of evolution.
