“How rude. Many who have gazed upon me have compared the experience to gazing
at the radiance of the sun."
Jem still had his eyes closed. "If they mean it gives you a headache, they aren't wrong.”

A Man From Lebanon: Nineteen Centuries Afterward
Jesus, The Son of Man (1928)
Context: Master, Master Poet,
Master of words sung and spoken,
They have builded temples to house your name,
And upon every height they have raised your cross,
A sign and a symbol to guide their wayward feet,
But not unto your joy.
Your joy is a hill beyond their vision,
And it does not comfort them.
They would honour the man unknown to them.
And what consolation is there in a man like themselves, a man whose
kindliness is like their own kindliness,
A god whose love is like their own love,
And whose mercy is in their own mercy?
They honour not the man, the living man,
The first man who opened His eyes and gazed at the sun
With eyelids unquivering.
Nay, they do not know Him, and they would not be like Him.
“They were eyes, that while gazing on the world
Rendered it brilliant with meaning”
"They Were Eyes", as translated at Kritya : A Journal of Poetry http://www.kritya.in/0703/en/editors_choice.html
Context: They were eyes, that while gazing on the world
Rendered it brilliant with meaning They were eyes, that embraced me with glances
They were eyes, for which I now hopelessly long
“What eyes he has! You cannot endure his gaze for long.”
