I'm reading a book at the moment (A Very Short Introduction to Romanticism) and one of the beliefs of the romantic poets was that the human sense of good, bad, beauty, value etc. was not a rational or intellectual conviction but an emotional one. The romantics seemed to view this as making those ideals even more worthwhile an "pure" in some way. So I think I can agree with that: Morals and meaning are not intellectual and they don't need to be.
