Romantic Icons! Poem by Ramesh T A

Romantic intellectuals are iconoclastic in nature
To criticize the faults of religions, politics,
Social conventions and all to create new human
Culture to be followed as tradition to lead world!

For romantic poet Wordsworth poetry is spontaneous
Overflow of emotion recollected in tranquillity..!
His philosophic friend Coleridge enlarged the scope
Of Poetry that included politics and philosophy also!

For Mathew Arnold poetry is the criticism of life;
Shelley rebelled against religions for freedom and
Free love and expressed his revolutionary ideas of
Change in romantic poetry and he is followed by all!

Jean Jacques Rousseau's revolutionary ideas of France
Such as liberty, equality and fraternity have become the
Constitutional principles of world democracy ever and
Many writers, novelists and activists followed suit..!
