Love’s Philosophy by Shelley

Filed under: love, shelley — Tejvan Pettinger @ 4:20 pm

The fountains mingle with the river,
And the rivers with the ocean;
The winds of heaven mix forever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
All things by a law divine
In another’s being mingle–
Why not I with thine?

See, the mountains kiss high heaven,
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister flower could be forgiven
If it disdained its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea;–
What is all this sweet work worth,
If thou kiss not me?

– Percy Bysshe Shelley

  1. sigh… For those few who are still in love with love, Shelley can still tell it like it is.

  2. it’s a beautiful poem
    we can see Shelly pursued the ture love ,indeed,he did so in his own life.
