To clarify: the title is excerpted from Act 1 of Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost. The full quote goes: "Light, seeking light, doth light of light beguile; So ere you find where light in darkness lies, Your light grows dark by losing of your eyes." It's a warning against spending too much of your life in scholarly pursuits.

Wren Update
It appears that the wrens that have taken up housekeeping near our front porch have started a family. At least they keep bringing juicy little bugs home to feed something inside the birdhouse. The aperture is too small for us to view inside, but we suppose that there are hungry little hatchlings in there.
Since the eggs [presumably] hatched neither wren has been singing much, which is a relief. The male was really loud.
