| Loveliness |
| There is certainly no beauty on earth which exceeds the natural loveliness of woman. J. Petit-Senn. | 1 |
| A lovely lady, garmented in light. Shelley. | 2 |
| Few have borne unconsciously the spell of loveliness. Whittier. | 3 |
| The perfection of outward loveliness is the soul shining through its crystalline covering. Jane Porter. | 4 |
| ’Tis not a lip or eye we beauty call, but the joint force and full result of all. Pope. | 5 |
| Her gentle limbs did she undress, and lay down in her loveliness. Coleridge. | 6 |
| Loveliness needs not the foreign aid of ornament, but is, when unadorned, adorned the most. Thomson. | 7 |
| A thing of beauty is a joy forever; its loveliness increases! it will never pass into nothingness. Keats. | 8 |
| Thus was beauty sent from heaven—the lovely mistress of truth and good in this dark world. Akenside. | 9 |
| A good woman is the loveliest flower that blooms under heaven; and we look with love and wonder upon its silent grace, its pure fragrance, its delicate bloom of beauty. Thackeray. | 10 |
| A beautiful envelope for mortality, presenting a glittering and polished exterior, the appearance of which gives no certain indication of the real value of what is contained therein. Mrs. Balfour. | 11 |
