Eyes

Famous quotes containing the word eyes:

    And so a mysterious creeping motion
    Quickens its demonic profile, bringing tears, to these eyes at least,
    Tears of excitement.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    O love, my love! if I no more should see
    Thyself, nor on the earth the shadow of thee,
    Nor image of thine eyes in any spring,—
    How then should sound upon Life’s darkening slope
    The ground-whirl of the perished leaves of Hope,
    The wind of Death’s imperishable wing?
    Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828–1882)

    The infant runs toward it with its eyes closed, the adult is stationary, the old man approaches it with his back turned.
    Denis Diderot (1713–1784)
