To feel along; to search or attempt to find in the dark, or as a blind person, by feeling. We grope for the wall like the blind. Isaiah 59:10. The dying believer leaves the weeping children of mortality to grope a little longer among the miseries and sensualities of a worldly life.

To seek blindly in intellectual darkness, without a certain guide or means of knowledge.

To search by feeling in the dark. We groped our way at midnight. But Strephon, cautious, never meant . The bottom of the pan to grope.
