Analysis and Error Correction: 'Love's Philosophy' by Percy Shelley
The poem 'Love's Philosophy' begins with Shelley contemplating the natural world, stating, 'The fountains mingle with the river / And the rivers with the ocean; / The winds blow free; / They meet, they are not new.' The speaker then argues that since natural elements interact and merge, so should lovers: 'Say, if thou hast thy soul where love is, / And I am so near, / As to my soul, and my love, thou art near.' The poem continues with the theme of unity and harmony, illustrating the interconnectedness of all things in nature as a metaphor for human love.
