Eyes

Famous quotes containing the word eyes:

    Why have your eyes gone into their own room?
    Goodnight they are saying
    from their little leathery doors.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    This is the day His hour of life draws near,
    Let me get ready from head to foot for it
    Most handily with eyes to pick the year
    For small feed to reward a feathered wit.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    A full bosom is actually a millstone around a woman’s neck: it endears her to the men who want to make their mammet of her, but she is never allowed to think that their popping eyes actually see her. Her breasts ... are not parts of a person but lures slung around her neck, to be kneaded and twisted like magic putty, or mumbled and mouthed like lolly ices.
    Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
