These eyes, tho' clear
To outward view of blemish or of spot,
Bereft of light, their seeing have forgot,
Nor to their idle orbs doth sight appear

Against Heaven's hand or will, not bate a jot
Of heart or hope; but still bear up and steer
Right onward.

Irrecoverably dark! total eclipse,
Without all hope of day.

O dark, dark, amid the blaze of noon,
Irrecoverably dark! total eclipse,
Without all hope of day.

The Thing became a read more

And when a damp
Fell round the path of Milton, in his hand
The Thing became a trumpet; whence he blew
Soul-animating strains--alas! too few.

A blind man can see his mouth

Dispel this cloud, the light of heaven restore;
Give me to see, and Ajax asks no more.

There's none so blind as they that won't see.
