Life is too much like a pathless wood

Where your face burns and tickles with the cobwebs

From a twig’s having lashed across it open.  Robert Frost, Birches, 1916

Your hidden worthiness into your eye,

That you may see your shadow.  ibid.

And I will look on both indifferently.  ibid.

 

 

Out, vile jelly!

Where is thy lustre now?  William Shakespeare, The History of King Lear III vii 83

 

Get thee glass eyes;

To see the things thou dost not.  ibid.  IV vi 175 

 

 

Her eye must be fed, and what delight shall she have to look on the devil?  William Shakespeare, Othello II i @226, Iago

With one eye you are looking at the outside world, while with the other you are looking within yourself.  Amedio Modigliani

And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon’s that is dreaming.  Edgar Allan Poe, The Raven

 

 

Reason tells me, that if numerous gradations from a simple and imperfect eye to one complex and perfect can be shown to exist, each grade being useful to its possessor, as is certainly the case; if further, the eye ever varies and the variations be inherited, as is likewise certainly the case and if such variations should be useful to any animal under changing conditions of life, then the difficulty of believing that a perfect and complex eye could be formed by natural selection, though insuperable by our imagination, should not be considered as subversive of the theory.  Charles Darwin, On the Origin of Species

 

 

The optic nerve ... was big enough to carry a lot of information.  The scan seemed to confirm T-Rex did indeed have a key attribute of a skilled predator.  Horizon: T-Rex: Warrior or Wimp, BBC 2004

 

 

Paley singled out the eye for the crux of his argument.  The eye must have had a conscious intelligent designer, he said.  Just as did the microscope, because in both designs is implied a knowledge of optics.  Professor Richard Dawkins, The Blind Watchmaker, BBC Horizon 1987

 

 

Creationists also ask how something as apparently perfect as the eye just sprang into existence.  Well it didnt.  The basic chemistry that makes up a light-sensitive cell is shared right across the animal kingdom, and Natural Selection has seized on this time and time again.  Science has uncovered species at every stage in the evolution of the eye – it is a cumulative process.  And each step of the way is more useful than the one before.  Professor Richard Dawkins, The Genius of Charles Darwin III, Channel 4 2008

 

 

All the eyes belonging to all the animals on Earth can trace their origin to one very simple eye that belonged to one doubtless very simple creature that lived perhaps a billion years ago.  Professor Armand Marie LeRoi, What Darwin Didn’t Know, Imperial College London
