About This Quote
The quote, "Even the ugliest swan is still more beautiful than the loveliest crown on the fence," is an example of learning to view beauty in all things. The author is speaking in a poetic way and using a metaphor in order to make his point. When we look at something, we can view it as ugly or beautiful. Sometimes people will say that they don't care what others think or they'll go out of their way to prove everyone wrong.
However, there's another way to see things and that's with the idea that it's good enough. It doesn't have to be perfect or the prettiest of anything. It can be a song, a poem or a flower.
When we learn to appreciate everything around us, our lives will become happier and more beautiful.
