. . . .Kirkegaard’s faith did not exclude self-isolation, but it was a safeguard against doubleness. He who is open to the reality of either divine or human love, does not need to fall back on the ambiguities of Dostoevskian diabolism. And he whose consciousness of the power of love is repressed, needs to substitute some other goal for which he can strive. Moral doubleness or diabolism is a substitute for the powe4 and reality of some kind of love.

. . . Only one of Dostoevsky’s famous characters, Raskoinikov, was permitted by the author to complete his inward course and break through into the open. The rest were tormented by repressed longing, real love and life being denied them and belief in God withheld. In some the awareness of the reasons for brooding was just plain enough for them to feel close to breaking away from the chains of their inner tension; in others the tension was not understood on high enough plane for them even to feel the mystery of their repression. ~ Page 36/37

“Romanticism” is a term that does not so much designate a historical period or a precise artist’s movement as a set of characteristics, attitudes , and sentiments whose particularity resides in their specific nature and especially in the originality of the relationship between them. And some particular aspects of the Romantic concept of Beauty are indeed original, even though it is not hard to find antecedents and precursors. . . . . But what i especially original is the bond linking up the various forms, dictated not by reason, but by the sentiments and reason. The aim of this bond is not to exclude contradictions or to resolve antithesis, but to bring them all together and it is in this that the true originality of Romanticism lies. ~ Page 299 (Excerpt : HISTORY OF BEAUTY ~ Edited by Umberto Eco)
