Both eyebrows1 and eyelashes exist for the protection of the eyes; the former that they may shelter them, like the eaves of a house, from any fluids that trickle3 down from the head; the latter to act like the palisades which are sometimes placed in front of enclosures, and keep out any objects which might otherwise get in. The brows are placed over the junction4 of two bones, which is the reason that in old age they often become so bushy as to require cutting. The lashes2 are set at the terminations of small blood-vessels5. For the vessels come to an end where the skin itself terminates; and, in all places where these endings occur, the exudation6 of moisture of a corporeal7 character necessitates8 the growth of hairs, unless there be some operation of nature which interferes9, by diverting the moisture to another purpose.
