Blind

Famous quotes containing the word blind:

“So unrecorded did it slip away,
So blind was I to see and to foresee,
So dull to mark the budding of my tree
That would not blossom yet for many a May.
If only I could recollect it, such
A day of days! I let it come and go
As traceless as a thaw of bygone snow;
It seemed to mean so little, meant so much;
If only now I could recall that touch,
First touch of hand in hand—Did one but know!”
—Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)

“No such thing as a man willing to be honest—that would be like a blind man willing to see.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

“Let us not concoct
healing potions for the dead,
nor invent
new colours
for blind eyes.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
