"Each heart is a world - You will find all writer within yourself that you will find without. To know yourself you have only to set down a true statement of those that have ever loved or hated you." By Johnan Kasper Lavater
Johnan Kasper Lavater was born in 1741 and died in 1801 He was a Swiss a physiognomist and a poet. He became a pastor and deacon in his church in Zurich. He wrote on mysticism as well as poetry. His patriotic conduct during the French occupation of Switzerland brought about his tragic death. He was shot by a French grenadier when they took over Switzerland in 1799. However he didn't die until a year later and suffered greatly during that year and many people criticized him for being his being so vain.
If you are wondering what a physiognomist is, I did too, and looked it up. I suggest you do the same and you will learn a new word. Grin!
