The mouth has full, compressed, projecting lips.

It is large, as if made for a torrent of eloquence: it is supplied with massive muscles, as if to move with energy and calculated force and utterance.

The jawbone is hard and heavy; the cheekbone emergent: between the two the flesh is hollowed, not so much with the emaciation of monastic vigils as with the athletic exercise of wrestlings in the throes of prophecy.

The face, on the whole, is ugly, but not repellent; and, in spite of its great strength, it shows signs of feminine sensibility.

Like the faces of Cicero and Demosthenes, it seems the fit machine for oratory.
