"Love's Philosophy" by Percy Bysshe Shelley

[metalcorekitty]

This is my favorite poem by shelly and you did it great justice your voice and the way you broke the poem down simply beautiful xx

[Quakii1]

We´re singing this in our school choir, it´s one of our favorites

[dailyflash]

My wife and I had that poem written on our wedding program. almost 12 years and still going strong.

[grahamophone]

I was going to write, "Will you marry me?" but I figured that was jumping the gun a bit. Still, what a voice!

So many comments, so many spelling errors.... I have a recording of Roger Quilter's setting of this poem. Perhaps it would interest you, perhaps not. Good night.

That's hot.

[Parandis1981]

very well preformed Percy Bysshe Shelley :)

[LoveliestCherry]

can anyone explain to me the textural variations of this poem? this version reads "in one spirit meet and mingle", whereas my version reads " in one another's being mingle". Also this version has "what is all this sweet work worth", but mine reads "what are all these kissings worth" - is anyone able to shed some light.

P.S. i loved your recitation.

[TheMasqueOfAnarchy]

There are at least two versions of this poem .. The version you have is

the 'uncut' original version. The other was given to his long time (& perhaps platonic) friend Sophia Stacey. 'In one another's being mingle & 'kissings worth' was (I believe) considered too erotic for Sophia's delicate personna.

[LoveliestCherry]

wow! thanks for the information. knowing the back story makes me love it even more! Poor Sophia and her blushes!

[glasseyesinsoup]

simply amazing.

[XposedNerve]

Without men like Shelley, there would be nothing that separates us from the chimpanzees.

[AngelusaRequiem]

I loved it!

[shananagins18]

[anabelenmoran]

[paperhuggs]

waw really well read :)

and i thought the tempo was just fine as well.

[SSRMay]

well read. Perhaps you might try a slightly slower tempo though, a little less rushed.

[catbirdtree]

Soursault18 - better he read than you write, so there.

[Meursault18]

why bother recording this video? people may as well go and read it themselves and its not like your even vaguely good at it

[iluvhughlaurie89]

Lovely poem, but after the book I just finished, it makes me a little angry. (Not that you didn't read it well - I enjoyed that!) The Percy Shelley portrayed by the historical fiction I just read believed truly that nothing on earth was single: love ought to be open, i.e. not merely restricted to his strong, intelligent, unconventional yet faithful wife Mary.

[RandomHater007]

Jeez..angry?

Mary knew what she was getting into, no?

The old scoundrel already had a pregnant wife back in London when first he dallied with the teenage Miss Wollstonecraft.

[megansspark]

This is so nice, thank you

[unguardedsmiles]

Very nice, you read it like it's meant to be read. I bought a Shelley book of poems a few years ago and never cracked it open, now I will.

[shelleyrocks]

Ah, lovely poem by a genius! I'm actually in the beginning process of writing a book on Shelley. Anyway, nice reading. You have the feeling down quite beautifully.

Cheers

[lyntwaddle]

That is such a great poem. I love Shelley! btw has anyone ever told you how much you sound like John Malkovich? It's quite scary.... lol.

[joejjohnston]

I didn't notice but now i totally agree

[hartcrane]

Oh, perch off mofo.
