Blind

    “man will be blotted out, the blithe earth die, the brave sun
    Die blind and blacken to the heart:
    Yet stones have stood for a thousand years, and pained thoughts
    found
    The honey of peace in old poems.”
    —Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)

    “A man who leaves home to mend himself and others is a philosopher; but he who goes from country to country, guided by the blind impulse of curiosity, is a vagabond.”
    —Oliver Goldsmith (1728–1774)
