The quote that appeals to the sense of sight in H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds is:
"Nothing was changed save for that and a terrible astonishment."
This quote appeals to the sense of sight by describing a visual change or lack thereof. It implies that visually everything remained the same, except for something that caused a "terrible astonishment." This visual imagery of unchanged surroundings paired with a sudden shocking sight engages the reader's sense of sight by creating a vivid mental picture of the scene.
