"The tension in Pullman between deep attraction to magic and fierce atheistic pragmatism resolves itself into a commitment to art especially shipshapeliness; this is a properly Romantic attitude. Just as his concept of daemons owes a lot to Coleridge's ideas about inspiration, and his absolute trust in imagination rings with the hopes and beliefs of Keats and Shelley, so the commitment to the making of things as well as possible in the here and now expresses his faith that a well-made story, like the small, well-trimmed boat that carries the children on their long, dangerous journey, will offer shelter in any storm" (The Guardian).
