One of the four poems i chose is called, "Love's philosophy" By Percy Bysshe Shelley
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 divineIn one another's being mingle;--Why not I with thine?
See! the mountains kiss high heaven,And the waves clasp one another;No sister flower would be forgiven,If it disdained it's brother;And the sunlight clasps the earth,And the moonbeams kiss the sea;--What are all these kissings worth,If thou kiss not me?
I really enjoyed reading this poem because it has it really nice flow and a strong meaning coorelated with it. I liked the fact that shelly incorporated nature as a focal point instead of strictly describing love alone. Instead he compared love to the way nature is structured where everything is linked or connected to something else. Then, he concludes with, "What is all these kissings worth, if thou kiss not me?"
