Eyes

Famous quotes containing the word eyes:

    And I have seen long fingers that would stare
    With fiery eyes, and then the eyes would crawl
    Deftly across the counterpane and fall
    Soundless, with a wink of mild despair.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    There was a look in the eyes of the Brangwens as if they were expecting something unknown, about which they were eager. They had that air of readiness for what would come to them, a kind of surety, an expectancy, the look of an inheritor.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Your eyes have pardoned our faults,
    your hands have touched us
    you have leaned forward a little
    and the waves can never thrust us back
    from the splendour of your ragged coast.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
