True Beauty

"An air of robustness and strength is very prejudicial to beauty. An appearance of delicacy and even of fragility, is almost essential to it." -Edmund Burke, Sublime & Beautiful, 1756

I love it best when artist's expose themselves onstage or in their art. I also love it when regular people can be human exposing their fragility and delicacy. No pretensions. That is real beauty --- being able to just be. Just like a woman who does not need any make-up nor Gucci to make her stand-out. That is real beauty. That is rare.
