John of the Cross Quotes About Eyes

Quotes about: Eyes

• Do not let your "eye" be drawn by the false "beacon lamps" -of wealth, or position, or fame, or possessions. Be vigilant over your will and desires, for these are the corrupt forces that dwell within, and keep you from living free.

  John of the Cross

  Eye, Over You, Desire

• Lord, I shall see you no more with the eyes of the flesh.

  John of the Cross

  Eye, Flesh, Lord

• Upon a darkened night the flame of love was burning in my breast
  And by a lantern bright I fled my house while all in quiet rest.
  Shrouded by the night and by the secret stair I quickly fled.
  The veil concealed my eyes while all within lay quiet as the dead.

  John of the Cross

  Eye, Night, Flames
