sleep wear Beauty or illusion? Your choice. Is this real, or a hag hiding behind a painted mask? A man stoops to pick a pretty flower and a snake strikes from behind its leaves. Does the ideal only exist in our minds, and do we unwittingly superimpose this ideal on everything we see? Beauty in those far off days lasted only from 13 to 18 years of age, then the fading began with rotting teeth and skin disorders. By the time our subject was in her 20\'s she was a worn out and rotting hulk. If we allow ourselves to be guided by illusions, then we are living life in a state of sleep.
