SN:
The poetic trope and aesthetic category of "distance" is central to Novalis' and Jean Paul Richter's definition of the Romantic, as embodied in dying sound and distant music. In the "young poetic future" proposed by the composer and critic Robert Schumann in the 1830s, romantic distance figures prominently." Hoeckner, "Schumann and Romantic Distance," abstract
