Romanticism was partly a reaction to Enlightenment, emphasizing the importance of feelings over reason.  How is that expressed in these lines of poetry?  Where rose the mountains, there to him were friends;  Where roll'd the ocean, thereon was his home;  Where a blue sky, and glowing clime, extends, He had the passion and the power to roam;  The desert, forest, cavern, breaker's foam, Were unto him companionship;  they spake A mutual language, clearer than the tome Of his land's tongue, which he would oft forsake For Nature's pages glass'd by sunbeams on the lake. "-Lord Byron, Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, canto 3​
