Love's Philosophy
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?
Shelley
This post features a completely piss-poor joke which is unlikely to be understood by Americans at all, nor by Brits under the age of 35...

Can I cut and paste it, please ?

Cut and paste?
That's all I did...
Well, dead poets don't sue, allegedly...
