The Notion of your Beauty

The notion of your beauty is more elusive.
Who could describe you with precision,
invoking beauty to be defined. Asking -

What makes her so enchanting?’
Serpentine shapes and gentle curves of an order.
Maximum variation - compatible with the highest degree of unity.

The Connoisseurs sow their poison seed.
‘She has not beauty enough’.
They cast the beholder - naïve.

They cannot see -
the notion of your beauty,
 is more elusive.

Image; Art Johnstone. ‘The Notion of your beauty’. On the occasion of considering Hogarth’s philosophies on beauty.

‘Wendy’.
He said.
You always were and always will be beautiful; the most beautiful girl - is how I see it….’
