Scene Summary and Context Guide
This extract provides a contextual overview of the Romantic period's emphasis on individual emotion and poetic expression. The poem 'I Think of Thee' captures the deep longing and passionate love characteristic of Romantic poetry. The speaker reflects on their beloved with tenderness and reverence, often using imagery that evokes natural beauty and spiritual connection. In this scene, a line such as 'My love, thou art more lovely and more temperate' exemplifies the poet's use of traditional Romantic themes—idealised love and harmony with nature. These themes are reinforced by the gentle tone and lyrical structure, which aim to evoke feelings of longing and admiration. The poem was written during a period when personal emotion was celebrated as a vital truth, contrasting with the rationalism of earlier eras. This context helps us understand the emotional intensity and poetic techniques used by the poet to convey love as a powerful and almost spiritual force.
