Adelaide CrapseyWhy do You thus devise Evil against her?' 'For that She is beautiful, delicate; Therefore.
About This Quote
This quote is beautifully written, however, I feel that it doesn't apply to the situation. The woman in the quote is being criticized for her beauty, not for herself. She is being attacked because she reminds others of their own imperfections, which they are terrified of admitting. The speaker in this quote is actually praising her beauty and praising her for reminding him of his own shortcomings.
