“The sky was darkening as they approached the iris.
The eye was at least a hundred miles long from corner to corner and some thing like forty miles tall. Its outline seemed to blur as they approached. Layers and streamers became visible. The true shape of the eye began to show, a tunnel of churning winds that were reasonable uniform. Whose cross section was a picture of a human eye.
It was like falling into the eye of God. The visual effect was horrifying, terrifying, and almost comically overdone.”
Ringworld, Larry Niven
