Excerpt from Ballads of Beauty

Beauty gives The features perfectness, and to the form Its delicate proportions: she may stain The eye with a celestial blue, the cheek With carmine of the sunset, she may breathe Grace into every motion, like the play Of the least visible tissue of a cloud, She may give all that's rich - her own Bright cestus - and one glance of Intellect.
