ΣΕΛΛΕΫ!

PERCY BYSSHY SHELLEY (1792-1822)


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 devine
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 work worth worth
 If thou kiss not me?
