I suppose so. Sober logical may be used to justify and initiate revolution but it would not be sufficient by itself to keep the fires burning or spread them. It needs the accelerant of raw emotion to spread its message and enthuse the participants. The Romantics were the agent by which the virus of Revolution spread. I suppose that explains the resulting Terror in France when the hotheads took over. There was nothing of what I perceive Enlightenment thought in those particular activities.
