She that gazes much spins not much. [ Proverb ]

An infant when it gazes on the light,
A child the moment when it drains the breast,
A devotee when soars the Host in sight,
An Arab with a stranger for a guest,
A sailor when the prize has struck in fight,
A miser filling his most hoarded chest,
Feel rapture; but not such true joy are reaping
As they who watch over what they love while sleeping. [ Byron ]

The eye that gazes upon the sun sees not the orb it looks upon, confounded by the excess of its brightness. [ Metastasio ]
