Before The World Was Made If I make the lashes dark and the eyes more bright and the lips more scarlet, or ask if all be right from mirror after mirror, no vanity's displayed: I'm looking for the face I had before the world was made.

I'd have him love the thing that was before the world was made.

A lot of people will tell you the first step to starting something new is to have an idea. But to me the first step starts long before that.
