I also remember seeing that in Iran. Once while visiting Persepolis when I was a kid I saw all these veiled school girls on a school trip and as they would look at us tourists out of curiosity, there would be a pair of emerald or aquamarine eyes that would catch you from 100 meters away every now and then. All in black veils (shadors) and wham... green eyes all of a sudden.
<strong>The eyes truly are the windows to the skull. I remain, as ever, impressed by the human capacity to equate beauty with importance, depth, and even, dangerously so, goodness.</strong><hr></blockquote>
No Matsu...that's incorrect. Whether the eyes be beautiful or treacherous..they still tell a story about that person. I don't think beauty really enters into the equation much honestly. However I will support your sentiments that beauty is on overused measuring stick....it's a shame that we Humans can be so fickle.
