Summary

This quote suggests that while beauty may captivate us on a superficial level, its true value diminishes once it is overshadowed by intellectual depth and expression. It implies that a beautiful appearance alone falls short in comparison to the power of intellectualism and meaningful communication. Beauty alone cannot sustain long-lasting interest or significance; it is the combination of physical attractiveness with intellectual substance that truly captures and engages our attention.

I always found the extraordinary loss of life in the First World War very moving. I remember learning about it as a very young child, as an eight- or nine-year-old, asking my teachers what poppies were for. Every year the teachers would suddenly wear these red paper flowers in their lapels, and I would say 'What does that mean?'
