Excerpt from Romance of Student Life Abroad The Ancient Art rigorously separates things which are dissimilar, the Romantic delights in indissoluble mixtures, all contrarieties: nature and art, poetry and prose, seriousness and mirth, recollection and anticipation, spirituality and sensuality, terrestrial and celestial, life and death, are by it blended together in the most intimate combination. The Ancient Art is an harmonious promulgation of the permanently established legislation of a world submitted to a beautiful order. The Romantic is the expression of the secret attraction to Chaos which lies concealed in the very bosom of the ordered Universe, and is perpetually striving after new and marvellous births. The former is more simple, clear, and like to nature in the self-existent perfection of her separate works, the latter, notwithstanding its fragmentary appearance, approaches more to the secret of the Universe. For Conception can only comprise each object separately, but nothing in truth can ever exist separately and by itself, Feeling perceives all in all at one and the same time. - A. W. Von Schlegel.
