Eyes

Famous quotes containing the word eyes:

    When I saw it I was so glad I could not speak. My eyes seemed too little to see it all.... I was a long time without speaking to my friend. To see me always looking and never speaking he thought I had lost my mind. I could not understand where all this could come from.
    —For the State of Maine, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    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)

    For I could tell you a story which is true;
    I know a lady with a terrible tongue,
    Blear eyes fallen from blue,
    All her perfections tarnished—and yet it is not long
    Since she was lovelier than any of you.
    John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)
