Famous quotes containing the words eye and/or effect:

    “Alas, alas for Hamelin!
    There came into many a burgher’s pate
    A text which says that Heaven’s Gate
    Opes to the rich at as easy rate
    As the needle’s eye takes a camel in!”
    —Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    “The use of symbols has a certain power of emancipation and exhilaration for all men. We seem to be touched by a wand, which makes us dance and run about happily, like children. We are like persons who come out of a cave or cellar into the open air. This is the effect on us of tropes, fables, oracles, and all poetic forms. Poets are thus liberating gods.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
