The fountains mingle with the river,
And the rivers with the ocean;
The winds of heaven mix forever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
All things by a law divine
In another's being mingle--
Why not I with thine?
See, the mountains kiss high heaven,
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister flower could be forgiven
If it disdained 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

the poem celebrates Shelley's sense of oneness of human beings with Nature... the immortality and universality of the passion of love by which all minds are agitated and all existence is continued in motion! ! !

If thou kiss not me?
............................
The line is enough to die for love. But the word 'Thou' is the toughest word to break its a single petal. Where and how could we get that 'Thou'! Really, such the way a poem becomes of all the ages of the great poets.

sir percy;
maybe,
those nature's attributes
are there for emulating
to enjoy fruits of trying
i know somebody's heart
is attach to her lips
worthy for kissing

Words capture the interaction of GODS creation, to the basic kiss of expression.

the philosophy of love was expressed wonderfully on this poem!
GOD created the earth because of love,
so everything he has made has the right to love and be loved!

How can anyone read Shelley and not want to fall in love, if in nothing else but in the idea of falling in love with life and the oneness of each other.
