Gosse van der Leij - Schilderijen

He would see faces in movies,on T.V., in magazines, and in books…

He thought that some of these faces might be right for him… And

through the years, by keeping an ideal facial structure fixed in his

mind… Or somewhere in the backof his mind… That he might, by

force of will, cause his face to approach those of his ideal… The

change would be very subtle…It might take ten years or so…

Gradually his face would change its shape… A more hooked nose…

Wider, thinner lips… Beady eyes… A larger forehead.

           He imagined that this was an ability he shared with most other

people… They had also moulded their faces according to some ideal…
