painful beauty




"And then I became aware of all the magnificent silk wrapped about my body, and had the feeling I might drown in beauty.

At that moment, beauty itself struck me as a kind of painful melancholy."


An excerpt from 'Memoirs of a Geisha,' by Arthur Golden



Clearly Arthur Golden has a soul that understands the close connection between pain and beauty...
