"In darkness you may see him, that's in absence, / Which is the greatest darkness falls on love; / Yet is he best discernèd then / With intellectual eyesight."
Metaphor in Context
Methinks I love now with the eyes of judgement,
And see the way to merit, clearly see it.
A true deserver like a diamond sparkles;
In darkness you may see him, that's in absence,
Which is the greatest darkness falls on love;
Yet is he best discernèd then
With intellectual eyesight.
(ll. 13-19)
