Three Days to See ---- Helen Keller

“Three Days to See”,by Helen Keller, is a fascinating account of what we can really see, perceive and assimilate from the wonderful world around us. Helen life should be an example for the humans. It is an excellent rule to live each day as if we should die tomorrow. It would teach us values of life. The writer, while making a systematic plan of all the things she would like to see if she were gifted eye-sight for just three days and nights, makes one realize how insensitive human beings are to their senses.

  Day One:

        She would see all the people who made her life worth living, particularly Mrs. Anne Sullivan Macy. Macy opened the outer world to her as a child. Helen wants to see her heart through the window of the soul. She would call all her dear friends and look long into their faces.. She would see small simple things of her home- the warm colours in the rugs, the pictures on the wall and so on.  She would take a long walk in the woods and enjoy the beauties of the world of Nature including the glory of colourful sunset.

 Day Two:

        She would wake up seeing the magnificent panorama of light at Sunrise. She would visit the New York Museum of Natural History and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. If one reveals the material aspects of the world, the other shows the myriad facets of the human spirit. Things she knew by touch she would now see. She would spend the evening at a theatre or at the movies. She would see the fascinating figures of Hamlet and Falstaff.

 

Day Three:

        Helen would drive from her home town surrounded by lawns, trees and flowers.  She would drive on the bridge across the East River. She would watch the delightful activities upon the river.  She would look at the fantastic towers of New York. Some sights would be pleasant, but some pathetic.  By the close of three days, her mind would be crowded with glorious memories. So there would be no regrets for the loss of sight once.

       She would advice us to make the most every sense to enjoy all the facets of pleasure and beauty which nature provides.
