For further analysis and biographical information go to: https://robertstephenparry.com/poem-l... • The 19th-century, Romantic poem 'Love's Philosophy' by Shelley, was written in 1820. Celebrated lines such as 'the sunlight clasps the earth and the moonbeams kiss the sea,' deliberately personify and compare examples of coupling and togetherness found in nature with a moment of intimacy between two prospective lovers. If everything in the world can mingle and join together why not people, too, regardless of any stuffy sense of conventional morality? • Provocative, but also intentionally amusing, Shelley is in a sense smiling at the wordiness of the romantic poets (among which he was certainly numbered) and is drawing attention also to the lengths that some will go in order to seduce the object of their affection.
