Quote by Mary Arnim
Strange that the vanity which accompanies beauty --excusable, perhaps, when there is such great beauty, or at any rate understandable --should persist after the beauty was gone.
Summary
This quote highlights the peculiarity of how vanity often lingers even after beauty fades away. It questions the rationale behind such vanity, suggesting that it might be acceptable or comprehensible when someone possesses great beauty, but appears perplexing when their beauty diminishes. The quote invites us to ponder why individuals continue to cling to their vanity despite its diminishing significance and beauty no longer being a factor in their lives.
