Love's philosophy
LOVE'S PHILOSOPHY The fountains mingle with the river And the rivers with the Ocean, The winds of Heaven mix for ever With a sweet emotion; Nothing in the world is single; All things by a law divine In one spirit meet and mingle. Why not I with thine? -- See the mountains kiss high Heaven And the waves clasp one another; No sister-flower would be forgiven If it disdained its brother; And the sunlight clasps the earth And the moonbeams kiss the sea; What is all this sweet work worth If thou kiss not me? Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822)
