Poem A Day

Classic poem

Fragment: "Igniculus Desiderii"

by Percy Bysshe Shelley

To thirst and find no fill--to wail and wander

With short unsteady steps--to pause and ponder--

To feel the blood run through the veins and tingle

Where busy thought and blind sensation mingle;

To nurse the image of unfelt caresses

Till dim imagination just possesses

The half-created shadow, then all the night

Sick...
