THE LAST MAN: SPEAKER'S MEANING DIMLY DESCRIBED by THOMAS LOVELL BEDDOES

Poet Analysis

First Line: I KNOW NOT WETHER
Last Line: THAN THE PURE WHITE OF HEBE'S PINKISH NAIL.
Subject(s): KNOWLEDGE;
I KNOW not wether
I see your meaning: if I do, it lies
Upon the wordy wavelets of your voice,
Dim as an evening shadow in a brook,
When the least moon has silver on't no larger
Than the pure white of Hebe's pinkish nail.
