hermit's face forms
 amid river ripples:
  fades like dream remnant.

A face devoid of love or grace,
   A hateful, hard, successful face,
   A face with which a stone
 Would feel as thoroughly at ease
   As were they old acquaintances —
   First time together thrown.

Daruma [Free Verse]

He is carved as an
   amorphous stone,
 Suggesting he stared
   into the rock until 
   any distinction between 
   himself and the rock 
   vanished. . .

But the sculptor couldn't 
   help but add a face.

“The Very Self” by Walter de la Mare [w/ Audio]

Clear eyes, beneath clear brows, gaze out at me,
 Clear, true and lovely things therein I see;
 Yet mystery, past ev'n naming, takes their place
 As mine stay pondering on that much-loved face.
