Painting: John William Waterhouse, "The Soul of the Rose," 1908.
“Beauty is an ecstasy; it is as simple as hunger. There is really nothing to be said about it. It is like the perfume of a rose: you can smell it and that is all.”
—William Somerset Maugham, "Cakes and Ale: Or, The Skeleton in the Cupboard" (1930)
