In this article, Roger Rees addresses the senses in Poem 64 and Catullus’ use of the senses in an occasionally nonsensical fashion. Sight and the eye motif are woven throughout the poem in the arrival of the wedding guests, the song of the Parcae, the ekphrasis describing Ariadne and Theseus, and in the conclusion of the poem. Vision is often juxtaposed with hearing in the ekphrasis and in the song of the Parcae. Smell is also involved, and linked to both sight and sound. Rees argues the paradoxical nature of the use of the sense in Catullus 64, as synesthesia is rampant in the poem.…

Visual pigments have rods and cones,…

Pax6 is vital for proper eye development Eyes are essential organs for processing and interpreting sensory information in the environment, making them crucial features for many organisms to survive. The eye serves many functions, most of which are associated with a specific structure of this organ. For example, the lens, cornea, and iris are necessary for the optic capabilities of the eye. Light sensing is performed by photoreceptors located in the retinal pigmented epithelium.…

People have said before that you could tell what kind of a person someone is just by looking into their eyes. Perhaps one of the most expressive features on the human body, the eye has the ability to show fear, happiness, and even sadness. Many writers have used a character’s eyes or their glasses as a way of providing meaning to their overall story. Examples of the use of eyesight as a motif are in F.
