Visual Blind Bidding

Famous quotes containing the words visual, blind and/or bidding:

    The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.
    Camille Paglia (b. 1947)

    I would that I were an old beggar
    Rolling a blind pearl eye,
    For he cannot see my lady
    Go gallivanting by.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    A simple and independent mind does not toil at the bidding of any prince.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
