Love by P.B.Shelley

 Hello 


I am Nidhi Jethava and in this blog I am going to discuss about poem ' Love' by P. B. Shelley. 




Love’s Philosophy

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 divine
In one spirit meet and 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 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?

Explanation :-

 Love's Philosophy poem is a romantic lover's playful  argument, putting forward his case for the union of love. Natural imagery and strong rhyme appeal to the reader's senses, presenting this relationship as something innocent, simple and inevitable. 'Philosophy' here means an argument or a way-of-thinking.
