Who writes your favorite romantic poetry? I really like the early and late Romantics, such as Keats, Shelley, etc. But, I also really like ee cummings, something about the way he writes is so sweet, sincere and simplistic, it's just absolutely lovely. heart

"LOVE'S PHILOSOPHY"
The Fountains mingle with the river
And the rivers with the ocean,
The winds of heaven mix for ever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single,
All things by a law devine
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 disdain'd 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?
By Percy Bysshe Shelley.

since feeling is first
e.e. cummings
since feeling is first
who pays any attention
to the syntax of things
will never wholly kiss you;
wholly to be a fool
while Spring is in the world
my blood approves,
and kisses are a better fate
than wisdom
lady i swear by all flowers. Don't cry
—the best gesture of my brain is less than
your eyelids' flutter which says
we are for each other: then
laugh, leaning back in my arms
for life's not a paragraph
And death i think is no parenthesis

George Gordon Byron:
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies...

Galadedrid Damodred George Gordon Byron: She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies... And all that's best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and in her eyes.

And when the moon was overhead
Came two lovers lately wed
"I am half sick of shadows" said
The Lady of Shallot.
