Joseph Addison:A beautiful eye makes silence

joseph addison | contradiction | represented | mutilated, | eloquent, | beautiful | deformed | simplies | believe | assent,

A beautiful eye makes silence eloquent, a kind eye makes contradiction an assent, an enraged eye makes beauty deformed.

by Joseph Addison
