beauty

The girl in the omnibus had one of those faces of marvellous beauty which are seen casually in the streets but never among one's friends.
It was perfect in its softened classicality - a Greek face translated into English. Moreover she was fair, and her hair pale chestnut.
Where do these women come from? Who marries them? Who knows them?

~ Thomas Hardy
