Black eyes, or what are considered such, are indicative of passionate ardour in love. Brown eyes, when not of the yellowish tint, but pure russet brown, show an affectionate disposition; the darker the brown--that is, the more they verge on to that deepest tint of brown which is seen in eyes we are in the habit of calling black--the more ardent and passionate is the power of affection. The brown eyes which do not appear black--that is, which are not dark enough to appear so--are the eyes of sweet, gentle, and unselfish natures, without the inconstancy of the light brown or _yellow_ eyes--"golden eyes," as they were called by a lady novelist--and which are very little more to be trusted than the green eyes already spoken of. The maiden in Longfellow's _Hyperion_, of whom he says, "She has two eyes so soft and brown, She looketh up, she looketh down; Beware, beware, she is fooling thee," must have had these _light_ brown eyes. Eyes which show no lines when in sorrow or laughter denote a passionless and unimpressionable nature. Eyes of a long almond shape, with thick-skinned eyelids which appear to cover half the pupil, are indicative of genius; if in conjunction the forehead is that which shows idealism, and has one deep perpendicular line between the eyebrows, which is indicative of originality of mind and which is generally to be seen in the forehead of distinguished writers and artists. It is very remarkable in all the portraits of Michael Angelo. The almond-shaped eye, however, even without this peculiar form of forehead, always means a susceptible, impressionable nature. Eyes which are large, open and very transparent and which sparkle with a rapid motion under well-defined eyelids, denote elegance in tastes, a somewhat susceptible temper and great interest in the opposite sex. Eyes with weakly-marked eyebrows above them and with thinly-growing eyelashes which are completely without any upward curve, denote a feeble constitution and a melancholy disposition. These eyelashes are often seen in people who combine the lymphatic and melancholic temperaments--that is, in persons born under the combined influence of the two melancholy planets, Saturn and the Moon. The eyes of these people are either of a pale, colourless sort of blue, or of a dull black without any sparkle in them. Want of eyelash, like want of eyebrows, shows a general want of force, both of body and intellect. Strong, dark and short eyelashes show force of character and a strong and obstinate will.
