Romantic Revolution - a poem of Common Sense
Louis xvi
Fascist French freedom is in fashion,
heads will roll, my friend!
Since the French revolution,
for the king, it was ‘The End’
Did Louis XVIth really lose his head?
The Machine, the guillotine, heralding
in the Industrial Age, a game of pawns
The end of cabbages and kings
it is a romantic notion that we
can play chess without the king
With science and reason
there is no place for God
from intuition to institution
emotion in motion, new inspiration
for a new generation
We live as slaves
we are all prisoners of our own device
religious radicals and political refugees
Bring us your poor, your hungry
and we will give them new life!
This land, where Law is king
Of established order and peace
all men are created equal,
to live in freedom and happiness
Yet some are more equal than others
Life has become a prison
under master and race
In the hands of the people
resides the state
and the republican oaf
Democratics exorcise their demons
to recoil in horror
the very fountain of youth
now runs with blood!
Of all the holy martyrs of the world!
Behind this victory
heralding the new era
lies the old regime
So feudal and futile so as to
consecrate a dream
The jackals of change
Kronos eating his sons
The headless horsemen runs!
The world is a stage
And we are but actors in this play
This is the brave new world
It is the rise of socialism
and the new fascist state!

In her Romantic Manifesto, Ayn Rand asserts that one cannot create art without infusing a given work with one's own value judgments and personal philosophy.
Even if the artist attempts to withhold moral overtones, the work becomes tinged with a deterministic or naturalistic message.
The next logical step of Rand's argument is that the audience of any particular work cannot help but come away with some sense of a philosophical message,
colored by his or her own personal values, ingrained into their psyche by whatever degree of emotional impact the work holds for them.

Johann Strauss II - Fledermaus-Quadrille, op. 363
The Quadrille is a dance that was fashionable in late 18th- and 19th-century Europe and its colonies.
Performed by four couples in a rectangular formation, it is related to American square dancing.
Dare to dream...
Words of Rousseau and Diderot
set the world free
Coleridge and Blake
A Romantic Manifesto
in the Quadrille of Fate
Wordsworth worth meaning
The Encyclopédie of pate
Robespierre and the Jacobins
Danton and the Sans-Culottes
All dreamers will be persecuted, until they are free!
