"I looked at him, actually, for the first time. His hair was the color of the corn shucks and his eyes, very direct, were like the mountain sky when rain is pending--gray, with a shadowing of that miraculous blue. As I spoke, a light came over him, as though the setting sun had touched him with the same suffused glory with which it touched the mountains."

Maybe thousands of years, brother.
