Percy Bysshe Shelley
Love's Philosophy I. The Fountains mingle with the river And the rivers with the ocean, The winds of heaven mix for ever With a sweet emotion; Nothing in the world is single, All things by a law devine In one another's being mingle-- Why not I with thine? II. See the mountains kiss high heaven And the waves clasp one another; No sister-flower would be forgiven If it disdain'd its brother: And the sunlight clasps the earth, And the moonbeams kiss the sea-- What are all these kissings worth, If thou kiss not me? The poem Love's Philosophy tells a story of how nothing is alone in this planet and that there is always a pair for everything. Shelley gives examples of how nothing is alone by talking how "the Fountains mingle with the river/And the rivers with the ocean,/The winds of heaven mix for ever/With a sweet emotion." These lines give the feeling that the world is not as lonely as it really is. It makes the reader feel like they cannot be lonely for a long time because everything has a pair to it; however, she also feels that somethings do not have a pair, as she doesn't. She feels that everything has a pair, but she feels as aif there is not one for her.
