About the portraits:
a face is preformed:
a half a quarter a third=product of mother and father
then formed by itself=thoughts pushed to the outer edge,
disturbed by feelings that make your mouth gape, your eyebrows frown,
the gaze sweetened= the honey of care, sweetheart of father mother
in those days...
