I am unusually handsome and exceedingly graceful at all periods of my life, though I care nothing for personal adornment. My expression, whether in conversation or when I'm silent, is calm and mild. I had clear, bright eyes, in which I liked to have it thought that there was a kind of divine power, and it greatly pleased me, whenever I looked keenly at anyone if I let his face fall as if before the radiance of the sun.
