Die Welt muss
romantisiert warden (The world must be romanticized), Novalis wrote. What did he mean by this? He described the romanticized world as one
where the ordinary was extraordinary, and the extraordinary ordinary. To create such a world is precisely the task of literature,
especially poetry, which is why Novalis styled the Golden Age that would be
ushered in when the world was romanticized a poetic Golden Age.
