"Power in likeness of the Arve" - line 16

So the first time the word Power appears, it is as a natural force, the river than carves the ravine.
He then compares that scene, the mountain, the rugged mountain river rushing through, to his own mind.
In his, or anyone's mind, power is thought.
Thought runs through the mind like a river. But a river doesn't just run through a valley, or ravine; it shapes and creates its own landscape as it flows.
In the same way, thought creates and shapes he mind in which it operates.
Finally, he says that the m,ind is greater than the exterior world.
What would Mont Blanc be, if we didn't see it and think about it?

Just some thoughts for you.
Cheers,
Laon
