And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.

Summary

This quote is from William Shakespeare's play "A Midsummer Night's Dream." It suggests that Cupid, the god of love, is depicted as blind, indicating that love is irrational and unpredictable. The phrase implies that love does not follow rational decision-making or logic, but rather works in mysterious and unexpected ways. Cupid's blindness symbolizes the notion that love is often out of our control and can lead us in surprising directions, without considering external factors or consequences.

Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earthAnd danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirthOf sun-split clouds--and done a hundred thingsYou have not dreamed of--wheeled and soared and swungHigh in the sunlit silence, Hov'ring there,I've chased the shouting wind along, and flungMy eager craft through footless halls of air.Up, up the long, delirious, burning blueI've topped the windswept heights with easy graceWhere never lark, or even eagle flewAnd, while with silent, lifting mind I've trodThe high untrespassed sanctity of space,Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
