The eyes staring through the round glasses at left: Do they recall
Dr. T. J. Eckleburg's sign in The Great Gatsby?

(Look at the top of this page.) They curiously
evoke the sad eyes of Francis Cugat's painting (mid page) on the cover of the
first edition of the novel. Wikipedia writes about "the description of
Daisy Buchanan as the 'girl whose disembodied
face floated along the dark cornices and blinding signs.' "
(Scribner, Charles, III (Winter 1992). "Celestial Eyes: From Metamorphosis
to Masterpiece." Princeton University Library Chronicle 53).
