- Eye_beam abstract "In the physics inherited from Aristotle an eye beam generated in the eye was thought to be responsible for the sense of sight. The eye-beam darted by the imagined basilisk, for instance, was the agent of its lethal power, given the technical term extramission. The exaggerated eyes of fourth-century Roman emperors like Constantine the Great (illustration) reflect this character. The concept found expression in poetry into the 17th century, most famously in John Donne's poem "The Extasie." Later in the century Newtonian optics and increased understanding of the structure of the eye rendered the old concept invalid, but it was revived as an aspect of monstrous superhuman capabilities in popular culture of the 20th century.The emission theory of sight seemed to be corroborated by geometry and was reinforced by Robert Grosseteste.In Algernon Swinburne's "Atalanta in Calydon" the conception is revived for poetic purposes, enriching the poem's pagan context in the Huntsman's invocation of Artemis:Hear now and help, and lift no violent hand,But favourable and fair as thine eye's beam,Hidden and shown in heaven".In T.S. Eliot's rose garden episode that introduces "Burnt Norton" eyebeams persist in the fusion of possible pasts and presents like unheard music:The unheard music hidden in the shrubberyAnd the unseen eyebeam crossed, for the rosesHad the look of flowers that are looked at.The New Zealand poet Edward Tregear instanced "the lurid eye-beam of the angry Bull"— Taurus of the zodiac— among the familiar stars above the alien wilderness of New Zealand.In computer graphics, the concept of eye beams is fruitfully resurrected in ray tracing (in which the bouncing of eye beams around a scene is simulated computationally).".
