Philip James Bailey Quotes About Eyes

Quotes about: Eyes

• True faith nor biddeth nor abideth form,
  The bended knee, the eye uplift; is all
  Which men need render; all which God can bear.
  What to the faith are forms? A passing speck,
  A crow upon the sky.

  Philip James Bailey

  Eye, Heart, Tears

  Philip James Bailey (1857). “Festus: a poem”, p.132

• It is sad
  To see the light of beauty wane away,
  Know eyes are dimming, bosoms shrivelling, feet
  Losing their springs, and limbs their lily roundness;
  But it is worse to feel the heart-spring gone,
  To lose hope, care not for the coming thing,
  And feel all things go to decay within us.

  Philip James Bailey

  Spring, Heart, Eye

  Philip James Bailey, “Festus - XXIII”

• I am tired of looking on what is,
  One might as well see beauty never more,
  As look upon it with an empty eye.
  I would this world were over. I am tired.

  Philip James Bailey

  Tired, Eye, Looks
