AMÉLIE NOTHOMB, Fear and Trembling
Birds of fine plumage are not the best songsters; neither are comely women the most virtuous.
WILLIAM SCOTT DOWNEY, Proverbs
True love survives all shocks: an affection originally produced by admiration for unusual beauty may not only survive the loss of that beauty, but may become more intense if the beauty has changed into ugliness through causes that bind the lovers together in tender associations.
ARTHUR LYNCH, Moods of Life
The queen whose beauty does the gaze transfix, Adorns herself with pallid crucifix.
EDWIN LEIBFREED, "The Quest for God"
