SeenAndNotSeen: He would see faces in movies, on TV, in magazines, and in books. He felt that some of these faces might be right for him. And that through the years, by keeping an ideal facial structure fixed in his mind,or somewhere in the back of his mind, that he might, by force of will, cause his face to approach those of his ideals.
The change would be very subtle. It might take ten years or so. Gradually his face would change its shape. A more hooked nose. Wider, thinner lips. Beady eyes. A large forehead.
He felt that this was an ability he shared with most other people. They too had molded their faces according to some ideal. Maybe they felt their new face would better suit their personality. Or maybe they felt that their personality would be forced to change to fit the new appearance.
This is why first impressions are often correct.
But some may have made mistakes. They may have arrived at an appearance that bears no relationship to them. Some may have gotten halfway there, and then changed their minds.
He wonders if he too might have made a similar mistake.
