Even colour is not beyond conjecture, since it is hard to be deceived in the distinction of the Negroes' skulls.<5> Dante's* characters are to be found in skulls as well as faces. Hercules is not only known by his foot. Other parts make out their comproportions and infer- ences upon whole or parts. And since the dimensions of the head measure the whole body, and the figure thereof gives conjecture of the principal faculties: physiognomy outlives ourselves, and ends not in our graves.英文原著 · 《Religio Medici》

Things were going to happen, nobody could guess what.英文原著 · 《A New England Girlhood》
