What Is Life?

By Samuel ColeridgeSource: Samuel Coleridge - PoetryDB (Public Domain)53 words

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 ?
