Beauty is a short-lived tyranny.
-Socrates
A thing of beauty is a joy forever.

which we are barely able to endure, and it amazes us so,
because it serenely disdains to destroy us.
Every angel is terrible.
-Rainer Maria Rilke

-Wallace Stevens
Look at me--a big old black man under all of this makeup, and if I can look beautiful, so can you.
