The phrase that most appeals to the sense of sight from Robert Hayden's "Monet’s ‘Waterlilies’” is “through refracting tears.” This phrase evokes a visual image, as it suggests the effect of light passing through tears, creating a visual distortion or refracted view, which is closely related to the act of seeing.
