Lions Eye

Famous quotes containing the words lions and/or eye:

    Probably more than youngsters at any age, early adolescents expect the adults they care about to demonstrate the virtues they want demonstrated. They also tend to expect adults they admire to be absolutely perfect. When adults disappoint them, they can be critical and intolerant.
    —The Lions Clubs International and the Quest Nation. The Surprising Years, I, ch.4 (1985)

    Show me no more those snowy breasts
    With azure riverets branched
    Where, whilst mine eye with plenty feasts
    Yet is my thirst not staunched;
    O Tantalus, thy pains ne’er tell,
    By me thou are prevented;
    ‘Tis nothing to be plagued in Hell,
    But thus in Heaven tormented.
    Michael Drayton (1563–1631)
