I love beauty.
As a man alive in the world I adore female beauty.
Laurie knows this to be true and friends going back to my UCONN days know this, as well.
There is nothing more natural in this world than a man's attraction to a beautiful woman.
Female beauty is like a drug to most men. This is something that feminists never understood.
I want to do something that we never do here.
Instead of discussing the Arab-Israel conflict, I want to discuss beauty this evening. Or, more specifically, the beautiful face of a beautiful woman. Describing beauty is the hardest thing within art.
Beauty is also the most painful thing in this world. Most people do not recognize this, but it is true.
How does one describe a female form, a female face, that can be true to the beauty of the woman?
What does one say? She has blonde hair or brown hair or black hair and this hair may be straight or curly or wavy or whatever. And she may have high cheek bones and blue eyes. She may have full lips. Pink lips.
But none of this ever gets to the beauty of the woman.
The descriptions never come close to describing why the man feels what he does.
The truth is that I just do not have the talent as a writer.
Laurie is the most beautiful woman that I have ever known and if I could put her beauty down into words, I would, but it is impossible.
I find this frustrating because nothing hurts more than a beautiful woman.
