Perceiving Function

Famous quotes containing the words perceiving and/or function:

“Look
There he is now, look:
There is no interrogation in his eyes
Or in the hands, quiet over the horse’s neck,
And the eyes watchful, waiting, perceiving indifferent.
O hidden under the dover’s wing, hidden in the turtle’s breast....”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
