What is Life?
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Resembles Life what once was held of Light,
Too ample in itself for human sight ? An absolute Self--an element ungrounded-- All, that we see, all colours of all shade By encroach of darkness made ?-- Is very life by consciousness unbounded ? And all the thoughts, pains, joys of mortal breath, A war-embrace of wrestling Life and Death ?
1805
