As to the matter physiognometry, a few points in his face will but reinforce what has been said above.
The breadth and angle of his jaw showed his tremendous determination and continuity. His upper lip was the lip of an actor and showed the intense liking for approval. The corners of his mouth were indicative of his cruel, destructive nature, and the eyelids showed more plainly than anything else in the whole face the proud, secretive, self-contained and self-sufficient character. The angle at which the head was poised on the neck, not only in his photographs but in his actual habit, was a certain sign of his reckless defiance which arose from his desire for combat and lack of love of life. The creases under his eyes showed that he had a poor command of language. The greatest speakers invariably have puffy lower eyelids.
