*1: a [[word]] or phrase used as a [[sign]] of [[recognition]] among members of the same [[society]], class, or [[group]]
*2a : a word or motto that embodies a principle or guide to [[action]] of an [[individual]] or group : slogan <“safety” is our watchword>

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caspar_David_Friedrich Caspar David Friedrich] contended that what matters is not the world of [[mundane]] [[perception]] but the world reconstituted by [[intuition]] and [[imagination]]. His creative [[watchword]] is quintessentially Romantic:
<blockquote>“Close your [[physical]] eye so that you may first see your [[picture]] with the [[spiritual eye]]. Then bring to the [[light]] of day that which you have seen in the [[darkness]].”</blockquote>
A work of art such as ''Mondaufgang am Meer'' testifies to the absolute [[priority]] of [[subjective]] [[truth]] and reminds us that Romantic landscape art is above all else an [[invocation]] of spiritual [[values]].
