Preserving the sweetness of proportion and expressing itself beyond expression. - Ben Jonson, The Masque of Hymen But true expression, like th' unchanging sun, Clears and improves whate'er it shines upon; It gilds all objects, but it alters none. - Alexander Pope There's a language in her eye, her cheek, her lip, Nay, her foot speaks; her wanton spirits look out At every joint and motive of her body. - William Shakespeare Patience and sorrow strove Who should express her goodliest. You have seen Sunshine and rain at once--her smiles and tears Were like, a better way: those happy smilets That played on her ripe lip seemed not to know What guests were in her eyes, which parted thence As pearls from diamonds dropped. - William Shakespeare, King Lear (Gentleman at IV, iii)
