Nathaniel HawthorneBut never had their youthful beauty seemed so pure and high, as when its glow was chastened by adversity.
About This Quote
The glow in a woman’s face when she is in love is a thing that cannot be described. It may be a sparkle in her eyes, a warmth in her smile. It may be the way she moves when she walks or the way she tosses her hair, or the way the light shines off the gloss on her lips when she smiles. But whatever it is, it can never be captured by words.
