White Eye Patch

Famous quotes containing the words white, eye and/or patch:

“The Thirties dreamed white marble and slipstream chrome, immortal crystal and burnished bronze, but the rockets on the Gernsback pulps had fallen on London in the dead of night, screaming. After the war, everyone had a car—no wings for it—and the promised superhighway to drive it down, so that the sky itself darkened, and the fumes ate the marble and pitted the miracle crystal.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)

“For what but eye and ear silence the mind
With the minute particulars of mankind?”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“I sing a hero’s head, large eye
And bearded bronze, but not a man,

Although I patch him as I can
And reach through him almost to man.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
