"Her skin was the color of cream. Her hips were like a lyre, and her bosom made men dream of peace and plenty forever and ever.","She seemed to nod to all the world in a dim, queenly way." "...mousetrapped by egoism.", "“I didn’t know she was such a tender blossom.”
The old man touched Fuller’s arm lightly. “We all are, corporal—we all are,” he said. “I thought that was one of the few good things about sending a boy off to the Army. I thought that was where he could find out for sure he wasn’t the only tender blossom on earth. Didn’t you find that out?” and finally, "She was appallingly human.". I love these descriptions with all my heart. :)


Beauty (blatant humanity) is mightier than ego.

Sometimes the eye of the beholder is blind.
