Faces

“There was a time in childhood when I didn't yet know I was ugly. Then there was a time when I believed as girls do that I could make it more tolerable by this or that done to my clothes or my hair. Now, I chose to be veiled.”

 

“The complaint was the answer. To have heard myself making it was to be answered. Lightly men talk of saying what they mean… When the time comes to you at which you will be forced at last to utter the speech which has lain at the center of your soul for years, which you have, all that time, idiot-like, been saying over and over, you’ll not talk about joy of words. I saw well why the gods do not speak to us openly, nor let us answer. Till that word can be dug out of us, why should they hear the babble that we think we mean? How can they meet us face to face till we have faces?”
