    Maybe 'lofty' is a better choice.

    What I mean by 'lofty' here is this: Romanticism dreams high up to the sky, resisting any pull down to the earth.

    I like romantic poems more than realist poems, as the former are somewhat the descendants of Milton (not sure if what I know is correct).


    BUT


    Realism rules the world of novels; the best novels are realist novels.

    On a different note, should we up the ante and make it not one, but two words, which when combined form an idea or image, which recall the Romantic movement?

    What about Moby Dick and Don Quixote, arguably one of the best novels ever written and one considered by many to be the greatest of all time, respectively. What about Ulysses? Heck, what about Dickens? I wouldn't exactly call his plots realistic. I guess it just depends on what one considers realistic; I've read very few novels that I'd consider realistic.

    Anyways...
