"The ear falls in love before the eye."

More than a thousand years ago, the Arab poet Bashar ibn Burd, He is blind captured a timeless truth: sometimes we become fascinated by a person before ever seeing them.
People were surprised that he loved someone he had never seen. He responded with this poem:

يا قَومِ أَذني لِبَعضِ الحَيِّ عاشِقَةٌ
وَالأُذنُ تَعشَقُ قَبلَ العَينِ أَحيانا

O people, my ear has fallen in love with a girl from a certain tribe,
For sometimes the ear falls in love before the eye.

قالوا بِمَن لا تَرى تَهذي فَقُلتُ لَهُم
الأُذنُ كَالعَينِ تُؤتي القَلبَ ما كانا

They said: "How can you be infatuated with one you have never seen?"
I replied: "The ear, like the eye, conveys to the heart what it receives."

هَل مِن دَواءٍ لِمَشغُوفٍ بِجارِيَةٍ
يَلقَى بِلُقيانِها رَوحاً وَرَيحانا

Is there a remedy for one passionately enamored of a maiden,
Whose meeting brings him comfort, delight, and sweet fragrance?"

Have you ever admired someone because of their voice, ideas, or character before seeing them?
