Summary

This quote suggests that combining beauty and happiness would be overwhelming, as it implies an excessive abundance of positive emotions. It implies that beauty alone is already appealing and captivating, and if happiness were to be added to the equation, it might become overpowering or excessive. This notion challenges the belief that happiness is an essential attribute of beauty, and highlights the potential impact of the fusion of these two qualities.
