Because modern humans are alienated from each other and from nature, we seek refuge from our aloneness in romantic love and marriage (pp. 79–81). However, Fromm observes that real love "is not a sentiment which can be easily indulged in by anyone."

This should be considered a rare achievement (p. vii).

The first stanza introduces the clod’s view of love (2): Love seeketh not Itself to please, Nor for itself hath any care; But for another gives its ease, And builds a Heaven in Hells despair. The stanza represents the clod’s optimism yet naïve innocence. Indeed the choice of using a clod to represent “soft love” is important because a clod is a lump or earth or clay which is easily malleable and soft. In Thel, the clod of clay is the mother which suggests a feminine viewpoint of love which is understandable after reading the entire poem (3).The clod comments that “Love seeketh not Itself to please,/ Nor for itself hath any care”, suggesting that love must be an unselfish state. Blake’s choice to personify love as seeking something is significant towards understanding the clod’s view of love.
