George Jean says....

"Beauty makes idiots sad and wise men merry."

I'm not sure I agree with George, unless he is writing about "wise idiots" and "shallow wise men".

I am inclined to agree with you, Earthling.

Beauty cannot but make us regretful at its transience, and its rarity; it reminds us too keenly of the imperfection of the majority of the world.

Oh, but when we are made regretful, do we know which group we belong to? That is the question! Who is to decide or judge if we are idiots or wise men?
