Section 74.

THE BEAUTY OF THE EYE.

Look how beautiful the human eye is, excelling in beauty the eye of every creature! The eyes of many of the lower animals are doubtless very beautiful. All of us must have admired the bold, fierce, bright eye of the eagle; the large, gentle, brown eye of the ox; the treacherous green eye of the cat, waxing and waning like the moon, as the sun shines upon it (S. 4, N. 5) or deserts it; the pert eye of the sparrow; the sly eye of the fox; the peering little bead of black enamel in the mouse’s head; the gem-like eye which redeems the toad from ugliness; and the intelligent, affectionate expression, which looks out from the human-like eye of the horse and dog. There are these and the eyes of many other animals full of beauty; but there is a glory which excelleth in the eye of man.

Use the 2nd pers. sing.

Say ‘and how it excelleth in (+an+) beauty the eye of every other creature!’ The words ‘in beauty’ should be placed before the verb.

All of us, +wir alle+; all of them, +sie alle;+ all of you, +ihr+ (or +Sie+) +alle+. Render the words ‘must have’ by ‘have certainly’. The p. p. should be placed after ‘eagle’.

+sich vergrößern.+

+sich verkleinern.+
