But optics sharp it needs, I ween,
To see what is not to be seen.

Canto i, line 67.John Trumbull

Optics is an example of the different ways a human is able to see things in the world. The same goes for the color of a person's skin and even though optics present that there are differences in color, these do not state that they should necessarily be treated as different.
Edward Bouchet
O, saw ye the lass wi’ the bonnie blue een?
Her smile is the sweetest that ever was seen,
Her cheek like the rose is, but fresher, I ween,
She ’s the loveliest lassie that trips on the green.Richard Ryan
That sound in tune to you? … Sounds sharp to me. Sounds like I'm playing sharp all the time. My singing teacher told us you should do that. Maybe I got it from her. She said singers when they grow old have a tendency to go flat. So if you sing sharp as a young person, as you get older and go flat, you'll be in tune. In other words, it's never thought good to be flat. It means you can't get to the tone.
Charles Mingus
The sharp employ the sharp; verily, a man may be known by his attorney.
Douglas William Jerrold
As men of inward light are wont
To turn their optics in upon 't.Samuel (poet Butler
