Consider how differently you've felt before another person's eyes. Think how you may have withered under the stare of an angry teacher. How your head may have begun to swim in the dreamy gaze of a lover. How belittled you felt as your boss seemed to look right through you without seeing you. Or how you could have burst with joy in the proud eyes of your parents.

How differently we can feel in another person's eyes. And how differently eyes can see us -- differences not dependent on optical issues, but on concerns of the heart. Eyes reveal much of a person's mood, even one's nature. We've lots of words for people's eyes: twinkling eyes, beady eyes, bedroom eyes, piercing eyes, shifty eyes. We're affected by the eyes that look upon us. Sometimes it makes all the difference in the world.
