David Bowie has a condition called anisocoria, which is the medical term for unequal pupils. In 1962, aged 14, he got punched in the eye by his schoolfriend George Underwood, during an argument over a girl named Carol Goldsmith. George’s fingernail caught David’s eye and dislodged something. David was admitted to Farnborough Hospital, where it was found that the sphincter muscles of his left eye were badly torn and he
underwent two eye operations. He has an enlarged pupil that remains permanently open, giving them an unusual appearance. Contrary to popular belief David doesn’t have two different coloured eyes - they are both the same colour. The enlarged pupil only gives the “effect” of two different coloured eyes

Sonnet XVII

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,

or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way

than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

I really can’t describe what changed our attitude so fast. I think, ya know, I really was a lot more negative and angry and everything else a few years ago. But that had a lot to do with not having a mate— ya know, not having a steady girlfriend, and stuff like that. That was one of the main things that was bothering me… that I wouldn’t admit at the time. So now that I found that, the world seems a lot better for some reason. It really does change your attitude about things. Four years ago, I would have said the classic thing like “How dare someone bring a child into this life, ya know? It’s a completely terrible way to go, the world is going to explode any day” and stuff like that. But once you fall in love, it’s different…. I’m not boasting about it, it’s just something, really weird.
