    “And that enquiring man John Synge comes next,

    Towards nightfall upon certain set apart
    In a most desolate stony place....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “It amazes me when I hear any person prefer blindness to deafness. Such a person must have a terrible dread of being alone. Blindness makes one totally dependent on others, and deprives us of every satisfaction that results from light.”
