Famous quotes containing the words ruby and/or eye:

And down the dark one ruby flare
Pulsing out red light like an artery,”

“What do the botanists know? Our lives should go between the lichen and the bark. The eye may see for the hand, but not for the mind. We are still being born, and have as yet but a dim vision of sea and land, sun, moon, and stars, and shall not see clearly till after nine days at least.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
