Blind

Famous quotes containing the word blind:

“Gold light in blind love does not distinguish
one surface from another, the savor
is the same to its tongue, the fluted
cylinder of a new ashcan a dazzling silver,
the smooth flesh of screaming children a quietness, it is all
a jubilance....”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

“I was afraid that by observing objects with my eyes and trying to comprehend them with each of my other senses I might blind my soul altogether.”
—Socrates (469–399 B.C.)

“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)
