The human face is the organic seat of beauty. It is the register of value in development, a record of Experience, whose legitimate office is to perfect the life, a legible language to those who will study it, of the majestic mistress, the soul.
In terms of having high hopes that the level of consciousness will get higher and higher, yeah.
