Diane Ackerman Quotes About Vision

• No hay nada más memorable que un olor. Un olor puede ser inesperado, momentáneo y fugaz, y sin embargo evocar un verano de la infancia junto a un lago en las montañas; otro, una playa iluminada por la luna; un tercero, una cena familiar de carne asada y boniatos durante un agosto loco de mirto en una ciudad del Medio Oeste. Los olores detonan suavemente en nuestra memoria como conmovedoras minas terrestres ocultas bajo la masa de maleza de los años. Al golpear un tripié olfativo, los recuerdos estallan a la vez. Una visión compleja surge de la maleza.

• There was nothing to do but wait. It is always like this for naturalists, and for poets--the long hours of travel and preparation, and then the longer hours of waiting. All for that one electric, pulse-revving vision when the universe suddenly declares itself.

• Though most of us don't hunt, our eyes are still the great monopolists of our senses. To taste or touch your enemy or your food, you have to be unnervingly close to it. To smell or hear it, you can risk being further off. But vision can rush through the fields and up the mountains, travel across time, country, and parsecs of outer space, and collect bushel baskets of information as it goes. Animals that hear high frequencies better than we do

• Look in the mirror. The face that pins you with its double gaze reveals a chastening secret. You are looking into a predator's eyes. Most predators have eyes set right on the front of their heads, so they can use binocular vision to sight and track their prey.
