...indeed be literally translated as "With seven nurses the child has no eye." However, it does not mean at all that the child in question goes blind, even in one eye. Rather it simply indicates that the child is without proper supervision, since no nurse keeps an eye on him, relying in that respect on other nurses...
Astronaut's-Eye View. Early in the mission, the astronauts trained a movie camera on the discarded third-stage S-4B rocket while it orbited near by and recorded the sudden and startling spurt of flame as its engine was fired to shove it out of the way and into a permanent orbit around the sun. In a sequence showing Spider undocking from Gumdrop, Spider moved slowly away and then began a smooth and graceful demonstration of its maneuverability...
...most dramatic movie sequences was an astronaut's-eye view of reentry, looking up through a window while the spacecraft plunged through the atmosphere, blunt end down.

Helen Frankenthaler is not interested in emotions for their own sake. Despite the modernity of her style, she is an heiress to a tradition that reaches back beyond Pollock; she uses themes as a kind of reality...
