For me it's Blake. I just think that it just works , and that he was able to successfully incorporate many thoughts into his work.

One of my favorite poems by him is:

A Poison Tree

I was angry with my friend;
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.

And I waterd it in fears,
Night & morning with my tears:
And I sunned it with smiles,
And with soft deceitful wiles.

And it grew both day and night.
Till it bore an apple bright.
And my foe beheld it shine,
And he knew that it was mine.

And into my garden stole,
When the night had veild the pole;
In the morning glad I see;
My foe outstretched beneath the tree.

i have a great aversion to any mention of food, especially of fruit, in music and literature
but this is quite nice

Is Nerval a romantic? I think his poetry is fantastic.

Crains dans le mur aveugle un regard qui t'épie
A la matière même un verbe est attaché ...
Ne la fais pas servir à quelque usage impie !

Souvent dans l'être obscur habite un Dieu caché ;
Et comme un oeil naissant couvert par ses paupières,
Un pur esprit s'accroît sous l'écorce des pierres !

I think it injurious to society and mankind at large
to lavish honours and confer power on accidental
qualities

The term Romantic can also be used as a noun, not just as an adjective. A Romantic is someone who follows the general precepts of Romantic ideals.
