John Keats once said,
“A thing of beauty is a joy forever”,
But what joy would it bring if
It is hidden underneath?
One has to walk in beauty
Like night and never hide.
So come with me my love and let us Explore, the beauty hidden underneath.
For a thing of beauty is indeed a joy,
Always and forever.

External beauty fades and can often cover-up something really ugly and cruel. Internal beauty is like the sun and can last forever. I never did judge the book by its cover.
