Sauntering through the pavement or riding the country bi-road -lo! such faces! Faces of friendship, precision, caution, suavity, ideality; The spiritual, prescient face, the always welcome benevolent face. The face of the singing of music, the grand faces of natural lawyers and judges. The faces of hunters and fishers…The pure, extravagant, yearning artist’s face. The ugly face of some beautiful Soul. The handsome, detested or despised face. The sacred faces of infants…The face of an amour, the face of veneration and the face of a dream. Sauntering the pavement, thus, or crossing the ceaseless ferry. Faces, faces, faces. I see them and complain not and am content with all.

The unique character of the people that I have come to know is clearly visible in their faces. These are the Gersois, the people who live in the Midi-Pyrenees region of France, These are the faces of Gascony.
