I really liked this poem because of its acute commentary on the nature of love, romance, sensuality, and beauty in terms of idealization. It's something that seems often fed to us subliminally through media of all different kinds, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
Here's a link to a great short story by Edgar Allan Poe called "Ligeia." It explores multiple themes, but I think that one interpretation could also involve the dangers of idealization.
