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
[Image]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 ?
the poem is drawing a parallel that is the relationship between light and darkness to the relationship between life and death. Light is an obvious "element ungrounded" just as life is. Darkness and death are also natural, but the "war" between the positive and the negative will always be.
