Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London

As the newcomer approached, Saxon glimpsed sufficient of his face
to be reminded of the old pioneers and of a certain type of face
seen frequently among the old soldiers: Young though he was--not
more than thirty, she decided--this man had the same long and
narrow face, with the high cheekbones, high and slender forehead,
and nose high, lean, and almost beaked. The lips were thin and
sensitive; but the eyes were different from any she had ever seen
in pioneer or veteran or any man. They were so dark a gray that
they seemed brown, and there were a farness and alertness of
vision in them as of bright questing through profounds of space.
In a misty way Saxon felt that she had seen him before.
