It is peculiarly the province of the eyes to declare the emotions of the
soul, and to exhibit the workings of sentiment and passion.
Blue eyes are frequently found in persons of phlegmatic character; they
are often indications of feebleness and effeminacy.
Black eyes portend energy.
If gray, they often mark a choleric disposition; in such case, the lids
are red, drawn back, and sunken. (See _pl. XXII_.)
Hazel, or brown eyes, indicate vivacity and affability.
When the extremity near the nose is acute, it denotes cunning and
finesse.
If the upper eyelid cross diametrically the ball of the eye, it is a
sign of subtlety and cunning.
