There is none so blind
As those who do not listen
As those who do not listen
This is a modification of the sentence: "There are none so blind as those who will not see" which deals with people being very ignorant to things they just don't want to see.
In this context together with the last line it may mean something like: people that don't want to listen will never know the truth.

Sleep of reason produces monsters
This is referring to the etching "El sueño de la razón produce monstruos" in English:The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters by the Spanish artist Francisco Goya created between 1797 and 1799.
"Goya imagines himself asleep amidst his drawing tools, his reason dulled by slumber and bedeviled by creatures that prowl in the dark. The work includes owls that may be symbols of folly and bats symbolising ignorance."
