romantics glorify what?
The Dark Romantics was created in response to the "light romantics"(aka Transcendalists, Romantics), while the Light Romantics believe in a greater good, meaning good always triumps over evil, and that man is good.

While the Dark Romantics believe that man is not good, that they are lonely and misunderstood, and that God is something that one must reach, that isn't apart of everyone and everything.
