Quote by Edith Sitwell

The living blind and seeing Dead together lie As if in love... There was no more hating then, And no more love; Gone is the heart of Man.

The living blind and seeing Dead together lie As if in love.

Summary

This quote portrays a somber and desolate perspective on humanity's state. It suggests that in death, both the blind and those who can see are equal, lying side by side with no discrimination. During this moment, there seems to be an absence of both love and hatred, indicating a sense of emptiness and loss. The phrase "Gone is the heart of Man" implies that humanity has lost something vital and essential, possibly alluding to the spiritual and emotional depth that humans once possessed.

A couple of months ago, I was down in Florida for the Food and Wine Festival. And this journalist grabbed me and said, 'How does it feel to be a TV guy? You're no longer in the restaurant business.' And I laughed. I asked him, 'How long do you think it takes me to do a season?' He said, 'Well, 200 days.' And I was like, '200 days? Try 20!'
