The same type of imagery and symbolism is used in the first two lines of the second stanza, where it says: “In what distant deeps or skies Burnt the fire of thine eyes?” The images of “distant deeps or skies” again presents images of a realm of darkness, and one is reminded again of the traditional interpretation of hell. It is implied that the “fire of thine eyes” had its origins in this place, thus reinforcing the symbol. The image of f .....

.... Despite its apparent meanings, these two themes are intertwined in the novel and provides a backbone for some of the other existing themes. With a masterful touch, Tolstoy is able to use these two themes to show the characters in their true forms at both stages.
