Analysis of Sight Unseen
I adored before sight became blurry,
Before pain became gravely illegal—
Centuries before we heard the story.
I adored before sight became blurry,
Before pain creeped into its glory,
Upon eyes most wretched born regal.
I adored before sight became blurry,
Before pain became gravely illegal.
