Blind Man

Famous quotes containing the words blind man, blind and/or man:

    But a blind man’s cane poking, however clumsily, into the inmost corners of the house.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    His speech is a burning fire;
    With his lips he travaileth;
    In his heart is a blind desire,
    In his eyes foreknowledge of death:
    He weaves, and is clothed with derision;
    Sows, and he shall not reap;
    His life is a watch or a vision
    Between a sleep and a sleep.
    —A.C. (Algernon Charles)

    When one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language.
    John Donne (c. 1572–1631)
