I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being was stricken blind
and deaf for a few days at some time during his adult life. Darkness would make him
more appreciative of sight, silence would teach him the joy of sound. Now and then I
have tested my seeing friends to discover what they see. Recently I asked a friend,
who had just returned from a long walk in the woods, what she has observed.
"Nothing in particular," she replied.
2. How was it possible I asked myself to walk for an hour through the woods and see
nothing worthy of note. I, who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me
through mere touch. I feel the delicate symmetry of leaf. I pass my hands lovingly
about the smooth skin of a silver birch or the rough, shaggy bark of a pine. In spring
I touch the branches of trees hopefully in search of a bud, the first sign of awakening
nature after her winter's sleep. Occasionally if I am fortunate & place my hand gently
on a small tree and feel the happy quiver of a bird in full song.
3. At times my heart cries out with longing to see all these things. If I can get so much
pleasure from mere touch, how much more beauty must be revealed by sight. And I
have imagined what I should must like to see if I were given the use of my eyes, say,
just for three days.
4. I should divide the period into three parts. On the first day, I should want to see the
people whose kindness and gentleness and companionship have made my life worth
living. First, I would like to gaze upon the face of my dear teacher, Mr. Anne Sullivan
Macy. She came to see me when I was a child. She opened the other world for me (g) What could the writer feel even though she was blind?
