Summary

This quote suggests that women have a profound ability to bring beauty and meaning into our lives. They tap into an unexplored aspect of our spiritual selves, awakening sentiments that are too intrinsic and profound for words or thoughts.

Only when this beauty connects with the deep and enigmatic aspects of our own soul does it transcend any conceivable form of communication.
