Leonardo da Vinci | Qual è di maggior danno alla specie umana, o perder l'occhio o l'orecchio..

Trattato della Pittura- Parte prima /12

Maggior danno ricevono gli animali per la perdita del vedere che dell'udire, per piú cagioni; e prima, che mediante il vedere il cibo è ritrovato, donde si deve nutrire, il quale è necessario a tutti gli animali.

Il secondo, che per il vedere si comprende il bello delle cose create, massime delle cose che inducono all'amore, nel quale il cieco nato non può pigliare per l'udito, perché mai non ebbe notizia che cosa fosse bellezza di alcuna cosa.
