Excerpt from Romance

What is romance? is it imaginative memory, and the search for another region conditioned by impressions given and taken ages before we were born? Is it the search of Eagle-Boy for the Girl of the Grey Palfrey, or the Voyage of the Crop-eared Dog to the Island of Light? Is it the escape by night from the tyranny of the day, or the magic aspect of things shining through the earthly rust, or a part of the desire to break up the commonplace effect of phenomena and get at the real reality?
