Eyes

Famous quotes containing the word eyes:

“Although crowds gathered once if she but showed her face,
And even old men’s eyes grew dim, this hand alone,
Like some last courtier at a gypsy camping-place
Babbling of fallen majesty, records what’s gone.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“The thirteenth fairy,
her fingers as long and thin as straws,
her eyes burnt by cigarettes,
her uterus an empty teacup,
arrived with an evil gift.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“It’s such a surprise for the Eastern eyes to see,
That though the English are effete
They’re quite impervious to heat.”
—Noël Coward (1899–1973)
