Scene Summary and Context Guide

The poem reflects Romantic ideals, emphasising nature and emotion as key elements of love, with references to mythic figures that personify passion and harmony. The poet uses imagery inspired by Greek mythology, such as rivers and divine unions, to illustrate the interconnectedness of love within the natural world.
