Blind

Famous quotes containing the word blind:

    Who is at my window, who, who?
    It’s the blind cuckoo, mulling
    the old song over.
    The old song is about fear, about
    tomorrow and next year.
    Timor mortis conturbat me, he sings....
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    Most blest believer he!
    Who in that land of darkness and blind eyes
    Thy long-expected healing wings could see,
    When thou didst rise,
    And what can never more be done
    Did at midnight speak with the Sun!
    Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)

    When you’ve been blind as long as I have, you learn to see through your senses. I can’t explain it exactly, but you get a feeling about people when you meet them. You see a picture of them in your mind. Not just what they look like, but what they really are. You see them much more clearly than you do with your eyes. Maybe that’s why they say looks are deceptive.
    —George Bricker. Jean Yarbrough. Helen Page (Jane Adams)
