I have a hard time explaining how I feel about the Romantics and the Transcendentalists. I refer to them for inspiration. I really like their style and the emotion and the energy in Keats and Wordsworth and Shelley...
...but at the same time, I realize that their emotional zeal and feeling-based approach to both poetry and life can be overdone to some destructive ends (emotions are good, but not if they control us). I love their passion but think it should be taken with a dose of practicality.
Still, my mixed feelings aside, I really, really, really, love these new editions set to come out from Faber & Faber. I want them all, but these are my top three. D*S is also hosting a giveaway that ends tomorrow night at ten eastern time.

Nothing sets my heart racing like a good book and good design. I totally judge books by their covers.

I keep looking for interesting covers of old books so I can make journals or sketchbooks out of them, but they're actually a lot harder to find than you would think. :(
