As darknesse a privation is of Light; <br />That's when the Optick Nerve is stopt from Light: <br />So Death is even a cessation in <br />Those Formes, and Bodies, wherein Motions spin. <br />As Light can only shine but in the Eye, <br />So Life doth only in a Motion lye. <br />Thus Life is out, when Motion leaves to bee, <br />Like to an Eye, that's shut, no Light can see.<br /><br />Margaret Cavendish<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/motion-is-the-life-of-all-things/
