Today’s Totally Random Lines

 

Now see what good turns eyes for eyes have done:

Mine eyes have drawn thy shape, and thine for me

Are windows to my breast, where-through the sun

Sonnet 24               Third Quatrain

The eyes have it! Today we have a sonnet about eyes. I had thought to give you the whole sonnet, but after reading it again I’ve decided that these four lines are the best anyway, so let’s just stick with them. The first two quatrains just talk about the eyes being the artist that paints a portrait of you that hangs in his heart. Then after today’s four random lines about what the eyes can do, he finishes with the two line conclusion about the limitations of eyes:

    Yet eyes this cunning want to grace their art,

    They draw but what they see, know not the heart.

 

So, to sum it up, I repeat, the eyes have it. Or do they?

 

 

Eyes.
