There are men who are like the eye pupils--larger in the shadow.
Bring them out into the bright light and they shrink to their real
proportions.
Hang a small looking-glass on the wall immediately below a
gas-bracket. Carefully examine the colored portion of either of
your eyes by looking at the image formed in the glass, and note
particularly the extent of the pupil’s opening. Now, turning the
light down to the smallest amount that will still permit you
to see the pupil, note the wonderful manner in which the pupil
dilates or increases in diameter. Then turn the light up and
observe how the pupil contracts; and then remember the wonderful
optical instruments you possess and be careful you do not abuse
them, for they are the only eyes you will ever get.--EDWIN
J. HOUSTON, “The Wonder Book of Light.”
