“Beauty soon grows familiar to the lover,
Fades in his eye, and palls upon the sense.”
Joseph Addison book Cato
Act I, scene iv.
Cato, A Tragedy (1713)
“Paint upon a palette, delighting our eyes with soul-satisfying pictures, a treasure of well set jewels a sympathy with growing things, fashioned into a dream of beauty, a place of perfect rest and refreshment of mind and body. This sense of beauty is a gift of God.”

“Well fare she, well! As perfect beauty fares;
And those high places, that are beauty's home.”
Lionel Johnson (1867–1902) English poet
"Oxford"
Context: p>Ill times may be; she hath no thought of time:
She reigns beside the waters yet in pride.
Rude voices cry: but in her ears the chime
Of full, sad bells brings back her old springtide. Like to a queen in pride of place, she wears
The splendour of a crown in Radcliffe's dome.
Well fare she, well! As perfect beauty fares;
And those high places, that are beauty's home.</p

Original: Quando alla simpatia si aggiunge la bellezza dell'anima e del corpo, insieme danno vita ad una persona di infinito valore.

La beauté qui parle aux yeux, reprit-elle, n’est que le prestige d’un moment; l’œuil du corps n'est pas toujours celui de l'âme.
