Unseen

Famous quotes containing the word unseen:

    Not many appreciate the ultimate power and potential usefulness of basic knowledge accumulated by obscure, unseen investigators who, in a lifetime of intensive study, may never see any practical use for their findings but who go on seeking answers to the unknown without thought of financial or practical gain.
    Eugenie Clark (b. 1922)

    The saints with their beau-peers whole worlds outwear,
    And things unseen do see, and things unheard do hear.
    Giles Fletcher, The Younger (1585–1623)

    Or when the lawn
    Is pressed by unseen feet, and ghosts return
    Gently at twilight, gently go at dawn,
    The sad intangible who grieve and yearn....
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
