some　are　in　themselves　broad　and　long；　serenely　covering　eyes　called

small。　　Some　have　far　more　drawing　than　others；　and　interesting

foreshortenings　and　sweeping　curves。



Where　else　is　spirit　so　evident？　　And　where　else　is　it　so　spoilt？

There　is　no　vulgarity　like　the　vulgarity　of　vulgar　eyelids。　　They

have　a　slang　all　their　own；　of　an　intolerable　kind。　　And　eyelids

have　looked　all　the　cruel　looks　that　have　ever　made　wounds　in

innocent　souls　meeting　them　surprised。



But　all　love　and　all　genius　have　winged　their　flight　from　those

slight　and　unmeasurable　movements；　have　flickered　on　the　margins　of

lovely　eyelids　quick　with　thought。　　Life；　spirit；　sweetness　are

there　in　a　small　place；　using　the　finest　and　the　slenderest

machinery；　expressing　meanings　a　whole　world　apart；　by　a　difference

of　material　action　so　fine　that　the　sight　which　appreciates　it

cannot　detect　it；　expressing　intricacies　of　intellect；　so　incarnate

in　slender　and　sensitive　flesh　that　nowhere　else　in　the　body　of　man

is　flesh　so　spiritual。
