Isn't he? Do you think his eyes look so extra nice because he had to sit and stare for so long in order for the photo to be taken (I presume)? Might have made him gaze more intensely, or something? I am blathering.
No, I actually think he's ... beautiful. I mean, I can't say more or I'll start clutching my hands together under my chin and embarrassing myself. Which actually happens on the rare occasion I fancy someone.
Hah! He seems like the type who'd drive a motorcycle if he were alive today.
I suppose he doesn't look that un-modern, but I guess neither human faces nor the basic elements of attractiveness haven't changed too much, despite fashion and hairdos. Probably men can look less absurd throughout the various epochs than women can, because for the most part they left their faces natural. But now they tweeze their brows (ick) and make their hair crunchy with styling gel and get fake tans and wear makeup and employ all kinds of artifice to lure admirers to them, eeevil sons of Satan that they are.
He's absolutely gorgeous. I agree about the eyes, especially the guileless part. And not so much sad as wise (which always contains an element of sadness).
From beyond the grave, June is looking directly at you, Hyperina. What do you imagine he wants to say to you? Probably he wants to get to know you, and who can blame him? A cute and intelligent lemur such as yourself, who also has sad eyes, and who has witnessed terrible suffering.
That is kind of you to say, but imagine the reality! He would be completely put off by my manner of dress and speech, unless once beyond the grave, people finally learn to disregard such cultural time-stamps?
He would probably tell me to get off the stupid computer and go do something useful or if I insist on being idle, to do it in nature, to lie down on the grass under a tree and watch the clouds drift past, instead. He'd say, "Everyone's eyes would look as clear as mine if they weren't subjected to the UV radiation of LCD monitors for 16 hours a day, missy! It is the pox of your generation. Now get off this thing."

Are you sure that's not a modern photo doctored to look old? Mo aside, he looks like he could easily fit in today.

I wonder what his eyes would look like if he'd been born 20-30-40 years ago, instead? Probably harder. Damn.
