wtf does milton have to do with him being alone as far as romanticism goes? i could understand "i think romanticism has died" but the milton/god thing just muddies the water and makes it seem like a psychological problem because he doesn't believe in god's justification. i'm a romantic at heart, i see it all the time but i doubt rowens and me would be compatible as any kind of like-minded people. i think the premise fall flat if he believes it's not dead. as long as there's one believer it still lives. the same as if on'y one person can justify a god, then god exists in that person.

No. Is it a goal/purpose of my writing? No. What I fail to understand is how the desire/need to justify the ways of God to man (within or without poetry) would make someone feel alone? I don't see any correlation between the two. Perhaps the how and why are entangled, but I have no idea how the feeling of being alone relates. It seems like any interesting topic to discuss, but I just don't understand the premise here.That is the premise. The romantic world is gone. You no longer understand it. He still does. He is alone.
