CONSIDERED merely as literary fashions, romanti-cism and realism are both tricks, and tricks alone. The on-ly advantage lies with romanticism, which is a little less artificial and technical than realism. For the great majori-ty of people here and now do naturally write romanti-cism, as we see it in a love-letter, or a diary, or a quarrel, and nobody on earth naturally writes realism as we see it in a description by Flaubert. But both are technical dodg-es and realism only the more eccentric. It is a trick to make things happen harmoniously always, and it is a trick to make them always happen discordantly. It is a trick to make a heroine, in the act of accepting a lover, suddenly aureoled by a chance burst of sunshine, and then to call it romance. But it is quite as much of a trick to make her, in the act of accepting a lover, drop her um-brella, or trip over a hassock, and then call it the bold plain realism of life.
