But, unfortunately, our myopic vision sees only the wealth, the luxury, the spending capacity of such an individual, and that ends it we bow down and worship before the golden calf.
It would also be testament that life was bigger than his myopic perspective of it, beset, as he was, by tragedy. It was his wish to go on a solitary journey where he might be in the vicinity of itinerant others like himself for reasons like his own, while staying aloof from them by a peripheral association of glances.
Those people at home who, from time to time, asked querulously, "What are we doing in Egypt?" should have seen Kantara in 1915, and then again towards the end of 1916. Failing that I would ask them, and also those kindly but myopic souls who said: "What a picnic you are having in Egypt!" to journey awhile with us through Kantara and across the desert of Northern Sinai.
Love is blind, and even marriage-brokers may be myopic. Most people not concerned knew that Daniel Hyams was "sweet on" Sugarman's Bessie. And it was so. Daniel loved Bessie, and Bessie loved Daniel. Only Bessie did not speak because she was a woman and Daniel did not speak because he was a man. They were a quiet family the Hyamses. They all bore their crosses in a silence unbroken even at home.
It seems almost incredible, when one reflects upon it, but during the whole of my school life, this fact was never commented upon or taken into account by a single person, until the Polish lady who taught us the elements of German and French drew someone's attention to it in my sixteenth year. I was not quick, but I passed for being denser than I was because of the myopic haze that enveloped me.
Then I asked him if he had observed in her any symptom, however disguised, of embarrassed sight: on which, after a moment's thought, he exclaimed "Disguised?" as if my use of that word had vaguely awakened a train. "She's not a bit myopic," he said; "she doesn't blink or contract her lids."
Are we justified in concluding, then, that in the "good old times" of our great-grandmothers that idyllic time when women must have been at least free from the reproach that they, solely and unaided, were destroying the hopes of the race that myopic, hypermetropic and astigmatic eyes were not in existence? Such a conclusion would be manifestly unfair.
Compared with such a picture as The Choice of a Model, the most laboriously minute Meissonier is as cold and dead as a photograph Meissonier, who was a capital fan painter, a patient miniaturist without colour talent, a myopic delineator of costumes, who, as Manet said, pasted paper soldiers on canvas and called the machine a battle-field.
And yet this same flesh cloaks genius at the very time that it reveals it. It seems as though the flesh must have been on and must have gone clean off before genius can be discerned, and also that we must stand a long way from it, for the world grows more and more myopic as it grows older.
And there's one thing I'd give a few years of my life to know." Brent Taber stared moodily into Entman's myopic little eyes and asked, "What's that, Doctor?" "How in hell did they do it?" "Who do you suppose they are?"
