I have to disappoint you, unfortunately, for one more time - but these are all valiant attempts, hope is never lost, as we know from the Professor's work! The answer is not correct, but I bring a gleam of good hope for those who are doomed to use their own brains

I'll use the thing you mentioned in your post, TM: "as you will now see" has its meaning as well, and quite important in this case (it is not there just to make a rhyme). Try to put it together with the rest of the riddle.

And, one more hint. The words "I run far from light" can have more than one interpretation. This is the beauty of English language. [cryptic-looking smilie needed]
