In Response to Daniel Leung's "Romantic v. Classical"
I really like you your analysis and find it interesting, especially when you say that "a romantic looks at the surface of things. They are concerned only with outward appearance." However, I feel that you may have taken the words "look" and "appearance" too literally, causing you to gloss over the emotional aspect of the romantic perspective. Also, I feel that a classically-minded person does not "go beyond the surface," but rather fails to see (or appreciate) the surface, similar to the way in which a romantically-minded person fails to see underlying form.
