Blind

Famous quotes containing the word blind:

“An underground grower, blind and a common brown;
Got a misshapen look, it’s nudged where it could;
Simple as soil yet crowded as earth with all.”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

“I would that I were an old beggar
Rolling a blind pearl eye,
For he cannot see my lady
Go gallivanting by.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“Who is at my window, who, who?
It’s the blind cuckoo, mulling
the old song over.
The old song is about fear, about
tomorrow and next year.
Timor mortis conturbat me, he sings....”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
