Photo Story: Eloquence of the Eye
“Eloquence is a powerful, moving and a magnificent form of expressing oneself.” The Eye is the jewel of the Body. Almost nothing need be said when one has Eyes as eyes have only one language everywhere. Eloquence of the Eye indicates the antiquity of one’s soul. The Soul has an interpreter- often an unconscious but still a faithful interpreter – in the Eyes. Eyes have their own universal language and no interpreter is needed.
The Eye speaks of things we dare not say. Not only our soul, but our mind reflects through the eyes. The Eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend. Eloquence makes the depth in expression more complete when it comes through the eyes. Eyes are not only more accurate in witnessing than ears, but it also can do a thousand things which our fingers cannot.

My Eye and God’s Eye are one eye, one seeing, one knowing, one Love. They also speak of War, deprivation and loss. They are the books, the arts, the academies, that show, contain and nourish the entire world. There is a road that connects the eye to heart –this does not go through the intellect. The Eyes are the most powerful social signallers that we have and hence are sometimes called the windows of the soul. The countenance is the portrait of the soul, and the eyes mark its intentions.
