Rose:depicted

                          Rose speaks of love silently- whispers sometimes in     
                           ear-in a language only known to heart    

               Roses:"I'd rather have them on my table than diamonds on my neck"    

                                     Rose: beautiful, delicate, fragrant, pure,

                                                pretty, soft, 

                                                     blue,

  red, 

                                                            yellow,

                                                                     white

                                  

                                                            yet thorny!

Which is the loveliest in a rose? Its coy beauty when it is budding or its splendor when it blooms?

Rose and beauty

         “Every one knows that beauty is what pleases” 

                     Rose depicted above: what is beauty? Handsome, lovely, pretty, fine, fair, nice: such are the synonyms of the word beauty. 

• Beauty is a characteristic of a person, animal, place, object  or idea that provides a perceptual experience of   pleasure or satisfaction   
• Beauty is pleasure associated with the quality of  thing.
• Beauty is a value. 
• Beauty is an emotion or an affection of our  appreciative nature. 
• Beauty is subjective:  “beauty is  in the eye of the beholder”
• Beauty is an objective feature of things.
•  Everything that pleases the senses or mind aesthetically is beauty. 

                  I have come to the conclusion that  beauty is what pleases: rose pleases me!

                                                             Beautiful is what you see below
