It became an historical period like any other in the chain of human history. In front of the arch of victory that he had just gone through under burning sun and surrounded by the sound of fanfares, Trajan was going forth on a nervous horse, and the woman who disturbed the procession by throwing her dead child at his feet caused disorder in which trumpets, standards and costumes moved about restlessly in a golden dusty haze. Does the imagination of artists seem more rebellious because they took imaginary heroes from novelists or poets rather than from reading history books?
It is those norms and methods that we are now going to try to unveil. A Romantic person was first of all sensitive and someone on whom logic and pure ideas had little impact.
