A charm invests a face Imperfectly beheld,- The lady dare not lift her veil For fear it be dispelled. But peers beyond her mesh, And wishes, and denies,- Lest interview annul a want That image satisfies. (Emily Dickinson)

A charm invests a face Imperfectly beheld,- The lady dare not lift her veil For fear it be dispelled. But peers beyond her mesh, And wishes, and denies,- Lest interview annul a want That image satisfies.
