Content: Lord Chesterfield told his son that he had not laughed since he had the use of his reason. Fontenelle never laughed, ran or wept. The restraint which was exercised in polite society was expected to be maintained in literature and fine arts. Only those sentiments were allowed to be expressed which could be suitably displayed in a drawing room. ADVERTISEMENTS: The Romanticists asserted the rights of feelings and imagination. According to them, feeling was more important than reason. Novalis wrote, “The heart is the key to the world.” Goethe maintained that “feeling is everything.” Madame de Stael asserted that feeling far surpasses reason as a means of arriving at the truth.
