Deaf

Famous quotes containing the word deaf:

    Children require guidance and sympathy far more than instruction.
    Anne Sullivan, U.S. educator of the deaf and blind. The Last Word, ed. Carolyn Warner, ch. 16 (1992)

    You are now
    In London, that great sea, whose ebb and flow
    At once is deaf and loud, and on the shore
    Vomits its wrecks, and still howls on for more.
    Yet in its depth what treasures!
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    and the deaf soul
    struggles, strains forward, to lip-read what it needs:
    and something is said, quickly,
    in words of cloud-shadows moving and
    the unmoving turn of the road, something
    not quite caught ...
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
