“Nothing in the world is single; / All things by a law divine / In one spirit meet and mingle. / Why not I with thine?”

About this quote
Shelley moves from the couplings he can see in the natural world to a direct plea that lovers should be joined in the same way. The sonnet is answerable, and the last line hands the reply back to whoever is reading.
