_Meaning of Complexion_ (Vol. i., p. 352.).--Addison says in Cato:
"'Tis not a set of features or complexion,
The tincture of a skin that I admire."
Here he uses the word _complexion_ as something distinct from "tincture
of the skin." The colour of the hair and irides commonly indicates the
colour of the skin. If they are dark, the skin is ordinarily dark; and
if blue or light, the skin is ordinarily fair. I have seen flaxen hair
and surpassing whiteness of skin with eyes as black as death.
