“Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eyes”
“It must be visible or invisible,
Invisible or visible or both:
A seeing and unseeing in the eye.”
Notes Toward a Supreme Fiction (1942), It Must Be Abstract
Context: p>It must be visible or invisible,
Invisible or visible or both:
A seeing and unseeing in the eye.The weather and the giant of the weather,
Say the weather, the mere weather, the mere air:
An abstraction blooded, as a man by thought.</p
“It is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye.”

Voici mon secret. Il est très simple: on ne voit bien qu'avec le cœur. L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux.
Variant translations: Here is my secret. It is very simple: one sees well only with the heart. The essential is invisible to the eyes.
The essential things in life are seen not with the eyes, but with the heart.
