Love's Philosophy
by Percy 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 divine
In 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?
Percy was intensely romantic and visionary. My astrological chart is very similar to his and in dreams and visions it was revealed to me that my soul has regenerated components of his soul.
He was the poet that said:Poets are cradled into poetry by wrong;
they learn in suffering what they teach in song.I agree wholeheartedly!
