A poem

The fountains mingle with the river,
And the rivers with the ocean,
The winds of heaven mix forever,
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing is the world is single;
All things by a law divine
In one another’s being 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 disdain’d its brother:
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea;--
What are all these kissings worth,
If thou kiss not me?


--Percy Bysshe Shelley "Love's Philosophy"
