Summary

This quote humorously highlights the subjectivity of beauty and the idea that different people have different opinions. The phrase "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" suggests that beauty is a subjective concept, varying from person to person. However, the quote adds a comical twist by implying that the sender of the letter disagrees with the speaker's appearance, expressing it in an exaggerated and humorous way. It serves as a reminder not to take judgments of one's appearance too seriously, as opinions on beauty can often differ greatly.

The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself, with desire for what its monstrous laws have made monstrous and unlawful.
