The Perfection of Beauty

As old as the beholder all that He made it was very good                                                   then multitudes of similitudes throughout the ages of grace                                                    some fair to be as close to the original some lost in their own vanity                                             from garden of His pleasure to the pleasant to make one wise like a flaming sword                          the selfish beauty mark because of the reward lay bare their own shame                                            but for His own graciousness a promise given to one day restore                                                             the innocent virtue of beauty upon one came the violence blood and gore                                                        reclaims the defamed to but on course those from whom worldly beauty had swayed                                        no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty                                                             that we should desire him. but perfection's beauty loved us                                                                                to the end and one-day beauty will again be very good
    
egotism's display
but pure Love is not in vain
the promise well kept
