Eye Hospital

Famous quotes containing the words eye and/or hospital:

    Show me no more those snowy breasts
    With azure riverets branched
    Where, whilst mine eye with plenty feasts
    Yet is my thirst not staunched;
    O Tantalus, thy pains ne’er tell,
    By me thou are prevented;
    ‘Tis nothing to be plagued in Hell,
    But thus in Heaven tormented.
    Michael Drayton (1563–1631)

    The church is a sort of hospital for men’s souls, and as full of quackery as the hospital for their bodies. Those who are taken into it live like pensioners in their Retreat or Sailor’s Snug Harbor, where you may see a row of religious cripples sitting outside in sunny weather.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
