Jane Austen’s heroines –(ah, dearest Jane…)
knew a thing or two –
show a man you have a mind,
and you may catch his heart..
and men –
flowers, a poem, a compliment,
something of beauty
to show you have a heart,
may bring you to her mind..
so poetry:
meaning is beauty to the mind,
beauty is meaning to the heart.
