On Love
On Love - meaning Summary
Love as Generous Mystery
The poem sketches a compact, philosophical portrait of love. It contrasts outward signs with inner joy, rejects possession in favor of freedom, and treats love as an inexplicable, self-validating force. Gift imagery emphasizes reciprocity: what love offers cannot be coerced but must be freely received. Overall the poem argues that love’s truth lies in its spontaneous generosity and mysterious self-sufficiency rather than in ownership or rational explanation.
Read Complete AnalysesLove adorns itself; It seeks to prove inward joy by outward beauty. Love does not claim possession, but gives freedom. Love is an endless mystery, for it has nothing else to explain it. Love’s gift cannot be given, it waits to be accepted.
