On the other hand, there are faces which the multitude, at first glance, pronounce homely, unattractive and such as "Nature fashions by the gross," which I always recognize with a warm heart-thrill. Not for the world would I have one feature changed; they please me as they are; they are hallowed by kind memories, and are beautiful through their associations.

• Time is hastening on, and we
  What our fathers are shall be,--
  Shadow-shapes of memory!
  Joined to that vast multitude
  Where the great are but the good.

  John Greenleaf Whittier

  Time, Memories, Father
