The wisdom in the poem is found in Shelley’s rhetorical question : “What are all these kissings worth /If thou kiss not me?” Since a rhetorical question begs the issue, it is assumed that Shelley’s wisdom is in fact true. It could also mean that the reader may just avoid the issue because love cannot be forced. Shelley, an amorist and libertarian , is proposing a playful yet down-to-earth philosophy of learning to love by simply imitating lovers. You can take it or leave it
