Fixed to the paper covers of each number of the
periodical, WMR's sonnet might well be taken as a summatory statement
of the aims of the PRB and The Germ. And in
some sense it is just that. The statement of a committment to
“nature” is sufficiently general to admit many different
views; at the same time, the PRB's suspicion of an art based upon
following previous models rather than direct person experience, is
clearly indicated.
