->''"...the handmaidens wondered aloud at her extreme pulchritude, as was etiquette to do so. Thus, so intent were they on the protocol of these compliments, that they missed the evidence that everything they said was correct. She was indeed slender and supple as a lotus stem, her breasts, truly, were like the bells of honeyflowers. Her loins and her limbs were, for sure, a delight to eye and hand and every sense; her hair a fountain of starshine, her eyes like the holy lake of Belsheved. For once, all they said was no more than factual, but the women scarcely noticed. If you had asked them, was the girl fair, they would have answered: "Pretty enough." Yet she was like the new moon gleaming upon the sea. She was like the morning of the morning.

->''"Of Psyche's beauty--at every age the beauty proper to that age--there is only this to be said, that there were no two opinions about it, from man to woman, once she had been seen. [...] As the Fox delighted to say, she was 'according to nature'; what every woman, or even every thing, ought to have been and meant to be, but had missed by some trip of chance."''

->''"It's important to not mince words here: Creator/SharonTate was really,'' really, '''really''' ''good-looking. Even by the standards of Hollywood, the city to which every best-looking girl from every American small town would flock looking for stardom, Sharon was so good-looking that she had a unique experience of the world. Restaurant owners would comp her meals just because. When she bought paint for her new apartment, the kid working at the hardware store offered to come back and paint Sharon's walls for her. Sharon was so beautiful that it was easy for her to walk into a casting room and make a good impression."''

->''"If all the tongues that Polyhymnia\\
together with her sisters made most rich\\
with sweetest milk, should come now to assist\\
my singing of the holy smile that lit\\
the holy face of Beatrice, the truth\\
would not be reached—not its one-thousandth part."''
