THE UNATTAINED, by PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: To thirst and find no fill - to wail and wander
Last Line: The half-created shadow.
First Line: To thirst and find no fill - to wail and wander
Last Line: The half-created shadow.
To thirst and find no fill -- to wail and wander
With short uneasy 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.
