Resembles Life what once was held of Light, <br /> Too ample in itself for human sight ? <br />An absolute Self--an element ungrounded-- <br />All, that we see, all colours of all shade <br /> [Image]By encroach of darkness made ?-- <br />Is very life by consciousness unbounded ? <br />And all the thoughts, pains, joys of mortal breath, <br />A war-embrace of wrestling Life and Death ?<br /><br />Samuel Taylor Coleridge<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/what-is-life-2/
