highlight the climate depression is brilliant.

But, as a Persian, I can remember lots of Persian poetry in which you
see a firm association between the beauty of love and the beauty of
the surrounding nature.

There are lots of instances of Persian couplets composed by Hafez,
Nezami, Saadi, among many others, that in the first one you see an
exquisite praise of your love and in the second one you read some
natural features and context that shaped your memory of that love,
either metaphorically or literally.

Therefore, each time you read most of such poems you not only miss the
loved one or the lovely scene you had with him or her but also feel a
great miss for the environment in which your story happened. In other
words, human love and nature love make up a gestalt. You cannot
separate them now and will remember both of them in the future.

A most well known example of such poetry is the works of Rudaki, the
first great literary genius of the Modern Persian, see this couplet
for just a glimpse of a too rich literature of Solastalgia and
Soliphilia :

Farsi (Persian): Booye Jooye Moolian Ayad Hami

English: Here comes the scent of Moolian brook

Farsi (Persian): Yade Yare Mehraban Ayad Hami

English: Here comes memory of the good comrade
