Shelley's classic love poem: the philosophy of love

Philosophy of Love is a famous lyric poem published by Shelley in 18 19. This poem is divided into two sections, each with eight clauses and sixteen lines. The whole poem rhymes alternately, using various rhetorical devices such as metaphor and backchat, which is concise, lively and catchy. This poem by Shelley reveals the laws of nature and human beings with natural phenomena. At first, the poet described the natural scenery such as streams, rivers, seas and winds with rich imagination and simple writing style, summed up the objective law that everything is in pairs and integrated with each other, and then pushed it above human love, pointing out that love is a natural feeling from the heart. In the second verse, the poet transits from the description of nature to the description of human beings, pointing to the love of human beings and encouraging people who love each other not to be afraid of secular resistance, but to be brave in expressing their feelings. The whole poem is mixed with scenes, giving people a feeling of wanting more.

Fountains blend with rivers.

Spring water always meets rivers,

Rivers and oceans,

The river flows into the sea again,

The winds of heaven are always mixed together.

The breeze in the sky will always melt.

With sweet feelings

A sweet feeling;

Nothing in the world is single,

What is loneliness in the world?

Everything is regulated by a law.

Everything is due to the laws of nature

In our mutual communion-

Will merge into a spirit.

Why am I not with you?

Why are you different from me?

Watch the mountains kiss the sky.

Look at the mountain kissing the blue sky.

The waves embraced each other.

The waves also embrace each other;

No sister flower will be forgiven.

Have you ever seen flowers are not inclusive of each other:

If it despises its brother,

Sisters despise brothers?

Sunlight embraces the earth,

The sun hugs the earth tightly,

The moonlight kissed the sea-

The moonlight kissed the waves;

How much are these kisses worth,

But what good are these kisses,

If you don't kiss me?

If you don't kiss me?
