Upon a day Beauty and Ugliness met on the shore of a sea. And they said to one another, "Let us bathe in the sea".
They disrobed and swam in the waters. And after a while Ugliness came back to the shore and garmented herself with the garments of Beauty and walked his way.
And Beauty too came out of the sea, and found not her rainment, and she was too shy to be naked, therefore she dressed herself with the raiment of Ugliness. And Beauty walked her way...
And to this very day men and women mistake the one for the other. Yet there are some who have beheld the face of Beauty, and know her not withstanding her garments...Kahlil Gibran
