rumi and shared beauty

Talking of sharing beauty, what about this from Rumi?

“We sit in this courtyard, two forms,shadow outlines with one soul,
birdsound, leaf moving in early evening,star-fragrant damp,
and the sweetsickle curve of the moon. You and I in around, unshelved idling in the garden-beauty detail.
The raucous parrots laugh, and we laugh insidelaughter,
the two of us on a bench in Konya,
yetamazingly in Khorasan and Iraq as well.”(Rumi).
