Hence, the opposition between the classicists and the romanticists between the adherents, in the culture of beauty, of the principles of liberty, and authority, respectively of strength, and order or what the Greeks called kosmiotês.+ Sainte-Beuve, in the third volume of the Causeries du Lundi, has discussed the question, What is meant by a classic?
The poem was an object of ridicule to the Romanticists, and the elder Schlegel wrote a saucy parody of the first two strophes. The few poems that found a place in the 'Almanac' of 1797, along with the luxuriant crop of Xenia, are relatively unimportant. The difference between the sexes, a subject which Wilhelm von Humboldt had discussed in the Horen, was expounded anew by Schiller in distichs.
So we must return upon our individual consciousness, and thus determine what is vitally significant to us. For the man who would appreciate beauty, it is not a question between this or that "school" in art, whether the truth lies with the classicists or the romanticists; it is not a question of this or that subject or method to the exclusion of all others. Beauty may be anywhere or everywhere.
He laughed. "Lady Narborough," he whispered. "She perfectly adores him." "You fill me with apprehension. The appeal to Antiquity is fatal to us who are romanticists." "Romanticists! You have all the methods of science." "Men have educated us." "But not explained you." "Describe us as a sex," was her challenge. "Sphynxes without secrets." She looked at him, smiling. "How long Mr.

There are, thus, the born romanticists and the born classicists.
Schlegel's own pursuits as a student were prevailingly in the field of Hellenism, in which his acquisitions were astounding; his influence was especially potent in giving a philological character to much of the work of the Romanticists.
The term shows that he is felt to have something of completion, of inner perfection, of harmony of form and content which was lacking in the truer Romanticists. Uhland was without their early cosmopolitanism. Political life as manifested in him was, first of all, Suabian for Uhland was a Suabian and most intimately associated with that section of Germany.
All the world now knows the two volumes of plays, not intended for representation on the stage, written after the manner of Shakespeare or Lopez de Vega, published in 1822, which made a sort of literary revolution when the great question of the classics and the romanticists palpitated on all sides, in the newspapers, at the clubs, at the Academy, everywhere.
