Note 151 — Chapter I · THE PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE
George Herbert Ely translation
“Ye women who glory in your ornaments, your hair, your hands, I tell you you are all ugly. Would you see the true beauty? Look at the pious man or woman in whom spirit dominates matter: watch him, say, when he prays, when a ray of the divine beauty glows upon him, when his prayer is ended; you will see the beauty of God shining in his face, you will behold it as it were the face of an angel.” (28th Sermon on Ezekiel).
