Kirk Farber...so much has been laid on the sunset–heavy-handed metaphors, sentimental music. Everyone’s always walking into them, and that is some very intense light. Maybe that’s where the term “love is blind” comes from, because so many people are walking into sunsets, burning out their corneas.
About This Quote
The term “love is blind†was first used by the poet William Wordsworth in his poem, “Lines Written A Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey.� He wrote the poem after visiting the famous English spot on the River Wye. The poem describes how he saw a young couple sitting on some rocks, gazing into each other's eyes. Wordsworth felt that this was the perfect picture of true love. In addition to being one of the most romantic poems written, it was also called one of the most beautiful poems about love in history.
The phrase truly does sum up how complicated love can be. When you think you know what love is, it can change your whole life in a split second.
