"Still to Be Neat"

[whatsup_bee]

I love this poem.

"Still to be neat, still to be dressed
As you were going to a feast,
Still to be powdered, still perfumed;
Lady, it is to be presumed,
Though art's hid causes are not found,
All is not sweet, all is not sound.

Give me a look, give me a face
That makes simplicity a grace;
Robes loosely flowing, hair as free
Such sweet neglect more taketh me
Than all the adulteries of art.
They strike mine eyes, but not my heart."

- Ben Jonson
(who apparently was a jerk, but wrote pretty balla.)

I love natural beauty, I wish all women saw how inherently beautiful they are.
