two tiny hedges defending your eyes and broadcasting every feeling you'd rather hide
means The brow is the ridge of hair above each eye, or by extension the forehead itself and, when applied to a hill, its overhanging top edge.
from From Old English 'brū,' meaning eyelash or eyebrow, with deep Germanic roots and likely cousins in Old Norse 'brún.' The word reaches even further back to a Proto-Indo-European source that also gave Greek 'ophrys' (eyebrow). The sense of 'forehead' came later, and the figurative 'brow of a hill' borrows the idea of a high jutting edge.
