Jennifer, my optimistic friend, I think that it may be rare that women feel that they are completely seen and understood for their beauty. Especially in our times, where women’s beauty is not appreciated for it’s depth, mystery and trueness. I have had poems written about me, beautiful letters given to me, and complements received by me, but nothing has given me the feeling that I have been wholly seen. Something about the master poets and writers, who describe a situation or a feeling that sums up a person’s beauty or a feeling that leaves me wanting more and feeling connected. So, maybe I can change my general statement and say that I myself greatly desire to be described and written about in a way that leaves me feeling that another truly understands me, and can see me in a beautifully poetic way.

Yes, Salina! It would be wonderful to have a poetic description of ourselves . . . but don’t we all have at least one memory of someone appreciating our beauty and describing it? Either written or spoken? I may not have mine (there are a few I like to piece together) on paper, but they are in my heart and locked in one of my most beautiful, special brain cabinets, in the glass conservatory of my brain mansion, ready for me to call upon them when I need them!

Great artistic expression by both you and George MacDonald!! Something about the description of lady Alice and the picture seems so familiar, and it intrigued me enough to want to read The Portent, and “yes” I bought it. Despite the fact that it is a fictional story, wouldn’t it be great if all of us women were described in such a beautifully poetic way that would only draw others to read more about us!?
