Eyes

Famous quotes containing the word eyes:

“And Truth, in sunny vest arrayed,
By whose the tarsel’s eyes were made;”
—William Collins (1721–1759)

“Twenty years hence my eyes may grow
If not quite dim, yet rather so,
Still yours from others they shall know”
—Walter Savage Landor (1775–1864)

“Rhodora! if the sages ask thee why
This charm is wasted on the earth and sky,
Tell them, dear, that if eyes were made for seeing,
Then Beauty is its own excuse for being:
Why thou wert there, O rival of the rose!
I never thought to ask, I never knew:
But, in my simple ignorance, suppose
The self-same Power that brought me there brought you.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
