| 词源 | the eyes are the windows of the soul At least one source calls this a proverb of the mid-16th century. However, John Green- leaf Whittier (1807–92) used it in his poem “My Psalm” and in recent times Cormac McCarthy quotes it in his novel No Coun- try for Old Men (2005): “They say the eyes are the windows of the soul. I don’t know what them eyes was the windows to and I guess I’d as soon not know.” |
