Allen Tate Quotes About Eyes

Quotes about: Eyes

• Walk in this faithless grass with studious tread,
  Lest mice, weasels, germane beasts, too soon
  The tall hat and eyes, the fierce feet, for dead
  Descry, and fix you prone in their revelling moon.

  The meadow creeps implacable and still;
  A dog barks, the hammock swings, he lies.
  One two three the cows bulge on the hill.

  With fiery eyes, and then the eyes would crawl
  Deftly across the counterpane and fall
  Soundless, with a wink of mild despair.
