How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk for an hour through the woods and see nothing worthy of note I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me through mere touch. If I can get so much pleasure from touch, how much more beauty must be revealed by sight And I have imagined what I should most like to see if I were given the use of my eyes, say for just three days.

She would want to see the kind people who have helped her and accompanied her through life. Then she would like to see the books which have opened her mind. In the afternoon, she would take a long walk in the woods and appreciate the beauty of nature.
She would like to see a display of the progress of civilisation. She would go to the museums and spend the evening at a theater or at the movies.
She would again greet the dawn, anxious to discover new delights, new revelations of beauty. She would spend the third day observing people in their day-to-day life.
