eyes
Hurricane's calm centers
Eyes are the organs of sight, set in sockets on either side of the nose.
The word extends to anything resembling an eye: the eye of a needle, the eye of a storm, the eye of a potato.
To eye something is to look at it with interest or suspicion: She eyed the contract warily.
Eyes often stand for attention or judgment: all eyes were on her, in the eyes of the law.
To see eye to eye is to agree.
