What do your eyes say about your personality or character? In the past people believed that the eyes of a woman (or man) could give lots of clues as to her personality and even her destiny. Here we quote an example of early and crude physiogonomy - the study of the face to determine character;

"If the eyes are big, restless, large, extended, shining with a lustre, having dark pupils with red threads around, exuding smooth and pleasant radiance, they indicate that a woman is lucky; of a domineering nature, respected and a leader in society. When the eyes are small, dull, gloomy, restless, grey coloured, round, slightly bent and blank, shaped like those of a pigeon, they denote ugliness in a woman. Such a woman is shrewd and is not likely to rise in life. If the eyes are red, she is passionate, a cheat and untrustworthy. If the eyes are big, long, with a red line therein, they denote a passionate nature. Such a damsel is very popular in society. If the eyes are black and round, she is very sexy. If the eyes are drowsy, she is fond of the opposite sex and has loose morals. If the sides of eyes are soft and the eyelashes are black it is a sign of good luck. When the sides of eyes have scanty hair, yellowish and the ends are thick, it indicates ill-luck."
