"The world lives in order to develop the lines on its face," says T. E. Hulme. Repeat: its face. Not only humans have faces. We do not own them all. The man in the moon, faces in clouds, profiles in rocks, eyes staring out of tree trunks, carrots, potatoes. . . . Buildings show off their facades and surface skins; they face each other across the downtown streets. Ancient Egyptians imagined the sky as a vast face with the sun and moon as eyes. The Navaho say something is always watching us.
