Nystagmus

Definition

Rhythmic, oscillating motions of the eyes are called nystagmus. The to-and-fro motion is generally involuntary. Vertical nystagmus occurs much less frequently than horizontal nystagmus and is often, but not necessarily, a sign of serious brain damage. Nystagmus can be a normal physiological response or a result of a pathologic problem.

A Lament


As I was
Watching
The unfurling
Of the rose

I slid into
A slumping
Repose

And my eyelids
Did themselves
Appose
And very soon
Began to close

And yet still worse
That I wished
To compose

That poetry
Turned
Into prose
