Pythagoras (580 B.C -500 B.C.)
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?
