Note Relating to Cather
In "The Best Years," the phrase "far as human eye could see," appears twice. Once, when Miss Knighthly is riding through a "land that lay level as far as the eye could see" and once when James Ferguesson is defending his name for his farm: he is looking into the future, he tells his wife, "far as human eye could see." (l. 119)
