Famous quotes containing the words eye and/or weakness:
“The gods are partial to no era, but steadily shines their light in the heavens, while the eye of the beholder is turned to stone. There was but the sun and the eye from the first. The ages have not added a new ray to the one, nor altered a fibre of the other.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“On a tree by a river a little tom-tit
Sang Willow, titwillow, titwillow!
And I said to him, Dicky-bird, why do you sit
Singing, Willow, titwillow, titwillow?
Is it a weakness of intellect, birdie? I cried,
Or a rather tough worm in your little inside?”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (18361911)
