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 another's being 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 it's 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?

Love's Philosophy, Percy Bysshe Shelley

That this poem is in a style that departs from his usual heavy Romantic style for a sweeter, simpler note appealed greatly to me, especially having been made to study poems in Percy's usual heavy Romantic styles at University!

The piece is written on white paper (8.27 in x 11.69 in) in a circle and uses different coloured inks - green, purple, and brown - to give the illusion that it is written in a spiral.
