Famous quotes containing the words small and/or blind:
“Do but consider this small dust, here running in the glass,
By atoms moved.
Could you believe that this the body was
Of one that loved?
And in his mistress flame playing like a fly,
Turned to cinders by her eye?
Yes, and in death as life unblest,
To havet expressed,
Even ashes of lovers find no rest.”
—Ben Jonson (15721637)

Despisd and thought extinguisht quite,
With inward eyes illuminated
His fierie vertue rouzd
From under ashes into sudden flame,
And as an evning Dragon came,”
—John Milton (16081674)
