十九歲時候的YV 還不太懂這種詩，讀得糊裡糊塗，考得亂七八糟。

可是 Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin 卻在十六歲的年紀就被寫這首詩的傢伙拐走，改姓Shelley！那時候的人真是早熟呀！

Mary Shelley 十八歲就開始動筆寫【科學怪人】。果然是女性主義之母 Mary Wollstonecraft 和人道主義作家William Godwin 的女兒。

如今高齡的YV 讀這首詩反而比較有感覺！
對！

感覺浪漫詩人雪萊使用的手法很像泡夜店的不良登徒子！
(這樣說，教浪漫詩的高老師會難過的！)

Love’s Philosophy
By Percy Bysshe Shelley


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 another’s being mingle--
Why not I with thine?

See, the mountains kiss high heaven,
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister flower could be forgiven
If it disdained its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea;--
What are all these kissings worth,
If thou kiss not me?
