THE EYE

Said the Eye one day,
"I see beyond these valleys a mountain
veiled with blue mist. Is it not beautiful?"

The Ear listened, and after listening intently awhile,
said, "But where is any mountain? I do not hear."

Then the Hand spoke and said, "I am trying in vain
to feel it or touch it, and I can find no mountain."

And the Nose said, "There is no mountain, I cannot smell it."

Then the Eye turned the other way, and they all
began to talk together about the Eye's strange delusion.
And they said, "Something must be the matter with the Eye."
