Recently, I asked a seeing friend who had just walked in the woods what she had noticed. "Nothing special," she replied.
How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk through the woods and see nothing worthy(值得的) of note? I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me only through touch. If I can get so much pleasure from touch, how much more beauty must be found by sight(视力)? And I have thought of what I should most like to see if I were given the use of my eyes for just three days.
On the first day, I should want to see the people who have made my life worth living and the books which have been read to me. In the afternoon, I should take a walk in the woods and enjoy the beauties of nature. That night, I should not be able to sleep.
On my second day, I should go to the museums to see man's progress. I should try to explore(探索) the spirit of man through his art. In the evening, I should spend at the movies.
The following day, I should spend in the world of common people going about the business of life. At midnight permanent(永久的) night would close in on me again, and I should realize how much I had left unseen.
I who am blind(失明的) can give a piece of advice to those who see: Use your eyes as if tomorrow you would be blind. The same is true of other senses. Hear the songs of birds, as if you would be deaf tomorrow. Smell the flowers, as if tomorrow you could never smell again... But of all the senses, I'm sure that sight must be the most pleasant.
