when i look at you, oh mirror
i see a part of me
the outward only
a shadow
of reality
the part, (though chipped and worn)
i can perk up
quickly
but beautifying
the heart in me?
now, that's another
story
*"If i make the lashes dark
and the eyes more bright
And the lips more scarlet
Or ask if all be right
From mirror after mirror
No vanity's displayed:
I'm looking for the face i had
Before the world was made."
~From the poem "A Woman, Young and Old" by William Yeats
