Sterling¹ was of rather slim but well-boned wiry figure, perhaps an inch or two from six feet in height; of blonde complexion², without color, yet not pale or sickly; dark-blonde hair, copious³ enough, which he usually wore short. The general aspect of him indicated freedom, perfect spontaneity, with a certain careless natural grace. In his apparel, you could notice, he affected⁵ dim colors, easy shapes; cleanly always, yet even in this not fastidious or conspicuous⁶: he sat or stood, oftenest, in loose sloping postures⁷; walked with long strides, body carelessly bent⁸, head flung eagerly forward, right hand perhaps grasping a cane⁹, and rather by the middle to swing it, than by the end to use it otherwise. An attitude of frank, cheerful impetuosity, of hopeful speed and alacrity¹⁰; which indeed his physiognomy, on all sides of it, offered as the chief expression. Alacrity, velocity¹¹, joyous¹² ardor¹³, dwelt in the eyes too, which were of brownish gray, full of bright kindly¹⁴ life, rapid and frank rather than deep or strong. A smile, half of kindly impatience
