Read it through once

“For I say, this is death and the sole death, When a man’s loss comes to him from his gain, Darkness from light, from knowledge ignorance, And lack of love from love made manifest; {485} A lamp’s death when, replete with oil, it chokes; A stomach’s when, surcharged with food, it starves. With ignorance was surety of a cure. When man, appalled at nature, questioned first ‘What if there lurk a might behind this might?’ {490} He needed satisfaction God could give, And did give, as ye have the written word: But when he finds might still redouble might, Yet asks, ‘Since all is might, what use of will?’ --Will, the one source of might,--he being man {495} With a man’s will and a man’s might, to teach In little how the two combine in large,-- That man has turned round on himself and stands, Which in the course of nature is, to die.
