                   By Robert M. Pirsig

``The romantic mode is primarily inspirational, imaginative,
creative, intuitive. Feelings rather than facts predominate.
'Art' when it is opposed to 'Science' is often romantic. It does
not proceed by reason or by esthetic conscience. In the northern
European cultures the romantic mode is usually associated with
femininity, but this is certainly not a necessary association.''
