Summary

This quote suggests that not all forms of beauty can evoke feelings of love. While some things may be visually pleasing, they may not have a deep emotional impact or attract one's affections. It implies that there is a distinction between a superficial attractiveness that merely appeals to the eyes and a beauty that has the power to captivate and evoke strong emotions within someone. True beauty is more than just skin deep, requiring a deeper connection and resonance to truly inspire love and affection.
