Physical Comparisons

When one compares a photo of John Donne (left) alongside a photo of Jim Morrison (right), the resemblance between the two is remarkable. Though not a perfect match, they both have very similar facial features, such as a fairly strong jaw and a long face. Also, they both donned long, curly dark brown hair.
