Dirty Eyes

Famous quotes containing the words dirty and/or eyes:

    The change of Philomel, by the barbarous king
    So rudely forced; yet there the nightingale
    Filled all the desert with inviolable voice
    And still she cried, and still the world pursues,
    “Jug Jug” to dirty ears.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    Light-lashed, self-righteous, above moving snouts,
    the pigs’ eyes followed him, a cheerful stare,
    even to the sow that always ate her young—
    Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
