Day of Little Noses In History Debate
Edith Wharton argues that modern people have smaller noses and minds, while history proves many small nosed figures achieved great deeds. The piece contrasts big nose heroes like Caesar and Washington with numerous small nosed leaders and writers, concluding merit isn’t determined by nose size.
