I however think of you as inherently handsome which manifests itself in an amalgam of inner goodness and sharp, classically perfect lineaments. The self consciousness and beauty seeking you describe in your youth is a feeling many of us had and still have intermittently. At the end of the day handsome is as does handsome and you did handsome and are handsome both wholesomely and physiognomically.Relativity.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00061209726672557795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4638619958588096610.post-76683131103898376382012-11-02T14:05:53.778+00:002012-11-02T14:05:53.778+00:00Orsino is something of a dummy but Viola will mana...Orsino is something of a dummy but Viola will manage him by outwitting and sidestepping him. Olivia too is something of a dummy. Of Viola's brother we only know he looks like her and that's enough for Olivia.<br /><br />The question of beauty (youth+attractiveness in most cases) is - we reason - not the same as the question of love. But they are associated. It is just that a wise eye will not look at beauty alone, or seeks a broader definition of beauty. <br /><br />But beauty remains beauty, well beyond the myth. It is never completely absent from our minds as we choose the colour for a wall, an item of clothing, or even one particular electric kettle over another. It is a factor. We live with it.<br /><br />And it is the same with the god Adonis and the goddess Venus. They are myths, of course, but remain as young as our energies demand.George Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08889600788146987089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4638619958588096610.post-40624045025896298472012-11-02T13:30:04.587+00:002012-11-02T13:30:04.587+00:00And we are left with the feeling that Orsino does ...And we are left with the feeling that Orsino does not deserve Viola. She has more than physical beauty. He lacks perception and kindness. <br />It is fascinating what you were told as a child about beauty. I too never saw myself as beautiful, but decided I could at least be clean and wholesome. It must be a burden to be a beautiful object. Much dearer bought is a life of loving and goodheartedness that shines from some faces, including yours, George. Maybe we need to grow to be truly beautiful. Angelatoppingnoreply@blogger.com
