portraiture

"All persons exist by some shining trait of beauty or utility which they have. We borrow the proportions from that one fine feature, and finish the portrait symmetrically. Our native love of reality joins with this experience to teach us a little reserve, and to dissuade a too sudden surrender to the brilliant qualities of persons. 

 

-Emerson, Nominalist and Realist
