    Cheer   Dark   Hands  
    Robert Aris Willmott (1866). “Pleasures, Objects, and Advantages of Literature”, p.92

    Splits   Way   Sides  
  • She is a mortal danger to all men. She is beautiful without knowing it, and possesses charms that she's not even aware of. She is like a trap set by nature - a sweet perfumed rose in whose petals Cupid lurks in ambush! Anyone who has seen her smile has known perfection. She instills grace in every common thing and divinity in every careless gesture. Venus in her shell was never so lovely, and Diana in the forest never so graceful as you.
