6ne must, as it were, paint the mind and
soul of this remarkable man, for they
seem to shine through the frail, almost
diaphonous, flesh they have subdued
Intellectual, ascetic; with broad fore
head, the skin of which shows the
tracery of blue veins; with massive fea-
lures and deep-set eyes of startling
brilliancy, in countenance pallid and
composed as that of corpse-it was
thus that Leo XIII. appeared to me
dominant and imposing personality"
