Loves Philosophy is purely a romantic poem written by one of the famous romantic poets, Percy Bysshe Shelly.
Shelly is best known for his classics in English Language. His poems were all classic and well explained and many of them were made plays. But unfortunately he did not live to see or hear his success.
His works were all well renowned and had all good in dept meaning to it. During his education period, he was not very happy as his idealism and controversial philosophies were working out and at those times he did write many poems. For this Shelly was expelled from school as he expressed his atheistic views. Shelly had a second marriage with Percy and he felt initially it was a perfect match as they had a love in writing novels and poems.
This poem which describes about ones feelings for Love was beautifully penned down. After reading this poem, it leaves behind one with the feeling of being loved and to love once again. The words that have been used are beautifully picked to express the poet’s feelings and would make the reader also have a feel for the love.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
The poem has a resemblance to his life where, in his real life he was not a winner in love and marriages. His first marriage was not satisfactory and later on he re-married and again was not that content. With such kind of life situations, the carving for love has made him put out his feelings into this beautiful poem.
The first stanza clearly explains that each living object is associated with another, or each living being is meant for another. However the last line says, why not me to you? This shows that he did have a vacuum in life and could not express his feel of love or have never felt being loved. It depicts not only his life, but for any person that carves for being loved.
The second stanza, again explains that the mountains and waves, the sunlight and moonbeams all kisses their loved, but how will they all be worth, if you don’t kiss me? A wonderful way of expressing the feel of Love is what exactly this poem is all about. Shelly is great poet, who has put his thought and feel for love in such a beautiful manner, that no person who has read this would ever turn back to think, how to love to be loved!!!
The Shelly memorial now stands at University College, England in honor of great alumni. After his death, his wife Percy devoted much of her time in publishing his works.
