George Crabbe Quotes About Eyes

• Her air, her manners, all who saw admir'd; Courteous though coy, and gentle though retir'd; The joy of youth and health her eyes display'd, And ease of heart her every look convey'd.

• Say, ye oppress'd by some fantastic woes,
  Some jarring nerve that baffles your repose;
  Who press the downy couch, while slaves advance
  With timid eye, to read the distant glance;
  Who with sad prayers the weary doctor tease,
  To name the nameless ever-new disease;
  Who with mock patience dire complaints endure,
  Which real pain and that alone can cure;
  How would ye bear in real pain to lie,
  Despised, neglected, left alone to die?
  How would ye bear to draw your latest breath,
  Where all that's wretched paves the way for death?

• Beauties, when disposed to sleep,
  Should from the eye of keen inspector keep:
  The lovely nymph who would her swain surprise,
  May close her mouth, but not conceal her eyes;
  Sleep from the fairest face some beauty takes,
  And all the homely features homelier makes.

• Hay un club de fumadores, ¿te atreves a venir
  ¿A esa habitación cerrada, nublada, caliente y narcótica?
  Cuando, pasada la medianoche, las velas parecen
  muriendo por aire, y dan un brillo espantoso;
  Cuando los humos se enroscan en perezosas coronas,
  y los prosistas se frotan los ojos parpadeantes.

• The gentle fair on nervous tea relies,
  Whilst gay good-nature sparkles in her eyes;
  An inoffensive scandal fluttering round,
  Too rough to tickle, and too light to wound.
