His face pale and withered, and his skin puckered in wrinkles.

It is usually followed by up; as, to pucker up cloth; but up is superfluous. It is a popular word, but not elegant.

Noah Says...
The moral principles and precepts contained in the Scriptures ought to form the basis of all of our civil constitutions and laws....All the miseries and evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery and war, proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible.
