"It is the poor artist who expresses himself. To be a treu poet you must
learn Nature and express that." Goethe

The Romanticist would say that he was freer - free from the tyranies of
petty logic, free from the chains of whim, fashion and concern for
affectations of position. He would say that to accomplish anything, one
first had to submit oneself to its discipline. His expression was then
"free" from all artificial constraints.
