Love's Philosophy

I found my romantic poetry for English class :)
Our class is having a Southern Belle tea party with cookies and tea tomorrow period 5/6 and as part of the tea party, each class member has to bring in their favourite or if not their favourite then just any poem from the romantic period. I looked through the works of the ever-so-awesome Edgar Allen Poe, William Wordsworth, Browning, etc.. But found a most intriguing one, which I've picked to be my poem to read out tomorrow by Percy Bysshe 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 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 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?



AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW (insert big romantic loveheart)

I gotta remember to bring my teapot and teacups tomorrow. yes, yes.


anyway, im off to go meet kevin @ state.

and gonna go buy my red vans!
