Eyes

Famous quotes containing the word eyes:

    Two children, all alone and no one by,
    Holding their tattered frocks, thro’an airy maze
    Of motion lightly threaded with nimble feet
    Dance sedately; face to face they gaze,
    Their eyes shining, grave with a perfect pleasure.
    Laurence Binyon (1869–1943)

    And I shall find some girl perhaps,
    And a better one than you,
    With eyes as wise, but kindlier,
    And lips as soft, but true,
    And I daresay she will do.
    Rupert Brooke (1887–1915)

    I have, indeed, even omitted facts, which, on account of their singularity, must in the eyes of some have appeared to border on the marvelous. But in the forests of South America such extraordinary realities are to be found, that there is assuredly no need to have recourse to fiction or the least exaggeration.
