"The light, that lies In woman's eyes, Has been my heart's undoing"

- Thomas More

About this Quote

This quote by Thomas More speaks with the power of a lady's appeal and the result it can have on a man's heart. The expression "the light, that depends on lady's eyes" is a metaphor for the beauty and charm that a lady can possess. This beauty can be so captivating that it can result in a guy's undoing, or damage. This could mean that the man has been so taken by the woman's beauty that he has been unable to resist her, and has been led astray. It could also imply that the man has actually been so enamored by the woman that he has been not able to focus on anything else, and has actually been unable to make wise choices. In either case, the woman's charm has actually been the reason for the male's failure. This quote talks to the power of a woman's charm and the result it can have on a male's heart.
