Romantic poetry is a progressive universal poetry. The destiny of poetry is not only to unite poetic genres, or to put poetry in contact with philosophy and rhetoric; he will have to sometimes combine poetry with prose, genius with criticism, the poetry of art with the poetry of nature, at other times merge them.
