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)

    The one-eyed man will be King in the country of the blind only if he arrives there in full possession of his partial faculties—that is, providing he is perfectly aware of the precise nature of sight and does not confuse it with second sight ... nor with madness.
    Angela Carter (1940–1992)

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