Visual Blind Bidding

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

    —Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)

    “But the star-glistered salver of infinity,
    The circle, blind crucible of endless space,
    Is sluiced by motion,—subjugated never.”
    —Hart Crane (1899–1932)

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