Hung oer the deep, such as amazing frowns
On utmost Kildas shore, whose lonely race
Resign the setting sun to Indian worlds,
The royal eagle draws his vigorous young”

Of the First National Bank

“When youve been blind as long as I have, you learn to see through your senses. I cant 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 thats why they say looks are deceptive.”
—George Bricker. Jean Yarbrough. Helen Page (Jane Adams)
