elegant life

“She was incomprehensible, for, in her, soul and spirit were one – the beauty of her body was the essence of her soul. 

 

She was that unity sought for by philosophers through many centuries. 

 

In this outdoor waiting room of winds and stars she had been sitting for a hundred years, at peace in the contemplation of herself.”

 

— F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Beautiful and Damned
