mata jendela jiwa


oke berhubung tadi abis mengerjakan laporan PBL
dan membuka-buka buku General Ophtalmology
inilah yang gw temukan di halaman depannya
sebuah kutipan dari Leonardo da Vinci

"...Now do you not see that the eye embraces the beauty of the whole world?
It is the lord of astronomy and the marker of cosmography
It counsels and corrects all the arts of mankind
It leads men to the different parts of the world
It is the prince of mathematics and the sciences founded on it are absolutely certain
It has measured the distances and sizes of the stars
It has found the elements and their locations
It...has given birth to architecture, and to perspective, and to the divine art of painting
Oh excellent thing, superior to all others created by God!
...
What peoples, what tounges will fully describe your true function?
The eye is the window of the human body through which it feels its way and enjoys the beauty of the world
Owing to the eye the soul is content to stay in its bodily prison, for without it such bodily prison is torture."
