How do I reword the sentence..Now the truth is not opposite but neither is the description of above. It is talking about romanticism and the above sentence is about the average view of romanticism. NO to be verbs are allowed ( Is, was,are, be, been, etc)

Answer 1

In the 2nd line, get rid of "of." = the description above. Since you already know you are talking about the sentence above, why not leave out "the above sentence" = romanticism and is about the average view of romanticism (OR of it.)
