The Light



'Tis light makes colour visible: at night
Red, green, and russet vanish from thy sight.
So to thee light by darness is made known:
Since God had none, He, seeing all, denies
Himself eternally to mortal eyes.
From the dark jungle as a tiger bright,
Form from the viewless Spirit leaps to light
