FRAGMENT: IGNICULUS DESIDERII
To thirst and find no fill—to wail and wanderWith 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 [OMITTED]
