I clasp thy waist, I feel thy bosom's beat - oh, kiss me into faintness sweet and dim!

I clasp thy waist, I feel thy bosom's beat - oh, kiss me into faintness sweet and dim!

The line "I clasp thy waist, I feel thy bosom's beat - oh, kiss me into faintness sweet and dim!" from Alexander Smith's poem "A Life Drama" encapsulates the intense passion and desire that characterizes much of Smith's work. Smith was a Scottish poet and essayist who was known for his romantic and emotional writing style, and this particular line is a perfect example of his ability to evoke strong emotions through his words.
