If I make the lashes dark
And the eyes more bright
And the lips more scarlet,
Or ask if all be right
From mirror after mirror,
No vanity's displayed:
I'm looking for the face I had
Before the world was made.
~W.B. Yeats

Did you find the face you were looking for?

Nah, I think the quest goes on for the entire lifetime. Don't you think so?

I don't know if it is supposed to be an entire lifetime. I wish I had as much patience, to last a lifetime!!
