Blind

Famous quotes containing the word blind:

    The last faint spark
    In the self-murdered heart, the wounds of the sad uncomprehending
    dark,
    The wounds of the baited bear,—
    The blind and weeping bear whom the keepers beat
    On his helpless flesh . . . the tears of the hunted hare.
    Dame Edith Sitwell (1887–1964)

    A blind man will not thank you for a looking-glass.
    —Eighteenth-century English proverb. Collected in Thomas Fuller, Gnomologia (1732)

    O never give the heart outright,
    For they, for all smooth lips can say,
    Have given their hearts up to the play.
    And who could play it well enough
    If deaf and dumb and blind with love?
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
