1. A barber has reached, in the practice of his art,

    such subtlety of conception as surpassed the sages.

  2. So gentle are the touches of his razor that, were it to shave

    from the cheek a single hair in his hand, neither hair nor cheek would know.

  3. It is as though a light were shining in his fingertips;

    he waves it, and with it sweeps the darkness from our heads.
