"Discover Creative Ways To Say 'I Love You!'"

Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822) wrote his most famous romantic love poems while living in Italy, and tragically drowned just shy of his 30th birthday. A contemporary of John Keats and Lord Byron, he was married to novelist Mary Shelley, author of "Frankenstein."


"Love's Philosophy"

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 spirit meet and 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 its brother;

And the sunlight clasps the earth

And the moonbeams kiss the sea:

What is all this sweet work worth

If thou kiss not me?
