Famous quotes containing the word eyes:
“Has no one said those daring
Kind eyes should be more learn’d?

The moths are when they are burned?
I could have warned you; but you are young,
So we speak a different tongue.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Your eyes have pardoned our faults,
your hands have touched us
you have leaned forward a little
and the waves can never thrust us back
from the splendour of your ragged coast.”
