What Is Life?

Samuel Taylor Coleridge·1772–1834
Lines:8
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 ?
