“ behold, the angel in beautiful nature-in defiance of boldness character, and in truth, she is the attraction of all curious souls, and spirit worlds”

“and if she wasn’t precisely pretty, she had a force of character that is often more attractive than simple beauty.”

“Truth, like beauty, is in the eyes of the beholder.”

“gratitude is a nice touch of beauty added last of all to the countenance, giving a classic beauty, an angelic loveliness, to the character.”

“Nature wishes that woman should attract man, yet she often cunningly moulds into her face a little sarcasm, which seems to say, 'Yes, I am willing to attract, but to attract a little better kind of a man than any I yet behold”

“Devices which in some curious new way imitate nature are attractive to simple minds.”

“Since with all my soul I behold the face of my beloved, therefore all the beauty of his form is seen in me.”
