EYES
'...well into the nineteenth century, a few drops of liquid distilled from belladonna, a plant of the nightshade family, used to be applied to the retinas of young women about to be introduced to a suitor, with the result that their eyes shone with a rapt and almost supernatural radiance, but they themselves could see almost nothing.'
from 'Austerlitz' by W.G. Sebald.
