Conrad Aiken Quotes About Eyes

Quotes about: Eyes

• MUSIC I heard with you was more than music, And bread I broke with you was more than bread. Now that I am without you, all is desolate, All that was once so beautiful is dead. Your hands once touched this table and this silver,And I have seen your fingers hold this glass. These things do not remember you, beloved: And yet your touch upon them will not pass. For it was in my heart you moved among them,And blessed them with your hands and with your eyes.And in my heart they will remember always: They knew you once, O beautiful and wise!

  Conrad Aiken

  Beautiful, Wise, Blessed

  Conrad Potter Aiken, “Discordants”

• All that is beautiful, and all that looks on beauty with eyes filled with fire, like a lover's eyes: all of this is yours; you gave it to me, sunlight! all these stars are yours; you gave them to me, skies!

  Conrad Aiken

  Beautiful, Stars, Eye

• Come back, true love! Sweet youth, return!—
  But time goes on, and will, unheeding,
  Though hands will reach, and eyes will yearn,
  And the wild days set true hearts bleeding.

  Conrad Aiken

  Sweet, Heart, Eye
