"taught from their infancy that beauty is a woman's scepter, the mind shapes itself to the body, and roaming round its gilt cage, only seeks to adorn its prison."
WOW is right...I think it is a curse of the human power of reason that brings us to continual comparison with each another...do you think animals look at one another and think you are more beautiful than I, therefore you are better. Don't we just tear ourselves to bits with it, it's so sad really. Your picture expresses the frustration of self worth so well...a masterpiece my dear.
you say it so well grannie annie! we humans can be so cruel. my rescue mutt (who is somewhat challenged in the pretty department with wiry crazy hair and half a tail) fully believes she is the miss universe of the dog world.
yet again...WOW!
